Love this list.

I write at least one new short/micro horror story every month. This is July's one, and one of my favourites so far:

So how do you select, Erica? Based on your reading? On metrics? Do people submit?

Every Friday I ask readers and writers of fiction to share what they’ve read or written the previous week. Then I just do random selection. This ensures a variety of writers are represented as I will try not to select the same people each week. I do my own searching and scouring but I know that I could never know all the fiction that’s being written and shared out there so I rely on the community. Every Friday we have a meet-up where you can “Send Us Your Fiction.” If you have anything you’ve read this week, let us know on Friday.

Thanks for including The Queen's Tarot: The Hermit! I'd like to extend an invitation to one and all: Drop by the Palace and look around! Just ... don't wander about alone ...

Sadly nothing I write is fiction. :)

Oh, I don’t write fiction either. But I must keep up the pretense since I do write about serial killers 😈… of course, not that I’m saying I’m one…

I have a great dress to wear to the awards ceremony. Very stoked to be recognized on this list.

For what is a Top in Fiction list without the great Jimmy Doom?! It would not be an accurate list, in my humble opinion…

Yes, thanks for the mention and the great idea. The more ways people can find fiction, the better!
