Since all the cool kids seem to be doing self-promotion this week, I might as well do it, too. So here are my awards-eligible stories that saw print in 2013. It was a light year for Scott Edelman fiction, with only two stories coming out.

“The Trembling Living Wire” appeared in Psycho-Mania! (note that the exclamation point is part of the anthology’s title), and is a contemporary horror story inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “Israfel.” It’s approximately 8,500 words long.

“Things That Never Happened,” a ghost story about a mother and daughter, appeared in the magazine Postscripts, and is approximately 3,000 words long.

Click through on the titles of the publications above for more info about each.

Thanks for your consideration.
