In 2021, WANL partnered with Admiralty House Communications Museum and the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl for this event, which has allowed us not only to offer bigger prizes, but also gave us a wonderfully spooky location to record our author readings!

And the prizes are…
1st Place: $350
2nd Place: $250
3rd Place: $150

Our five longlisted authors have now recorded readings of their submissions with our go-to guy for all things spooky and altogether kooky, Mike Hickey.
We will be releasing these filmed readings for viewers to vote for their favourite – voting opens this week, and will end on October 26, so cast your vote ASAP!

Thanks to our jury for helping us determine our longlist – we had 30+ submissions to send their way! The 2021 jury consisted of:

• Tracey Waddleton, Author of Send More Tourists… the Last Ones Were Delicious
“This book is like reaching into a cookie jar and finding a Barbie head.”

• Brad Dunne, Author of After Dark Vapours and The Gut:
“His ability to craft pure terror and suspense is brilliantly fused with heartbreaking emotion and real-life feelings leave the reader turning the page all the way to the end.”

• Liz Solo, Author of Phreak
“A sweeping crusty feat of biting, Nostradamic wisdom. A dirty mirror held up with tough love.”
