September’s stories took us on a trip around the world. And now we have a chance to celebrate the winners of our “Encore: World Tour” flash fiction contest, one from each of our five umbrella genres.

Havok’s five daily genres are: Mystery Monday, Techno Tuesday (science fiction), Wacky Wednesday (humor), Thriller Thursday, and Fantasy Friday. The winning stories will be included in our next seasonal anthology, Encore!, to be released next spring in both ebook and print formats (paperback and hardcover for our year-long seasons).

The Winning Stories

These tales took us to the bottom of the sea, to an alt history city of Rome, an underground villain’s lair, Portugal, and somewhere in Scotland where fairies rule. If you’re a Havok member, tap or click the image to read the story. (And for a limited time, the archives are also open to the public!)
