Democracy in action
Every few months, the folks at the Absent Willow Review give out an Editor’s Choice Award (equal parts bragging rights and cashy-money) to a recently published story. Although it is their choice, they do encourage reader input in the form of an online poll. If you have not already done so, please read my recently published horror story “Sweat,” and if it does it for you, vote for it here.1 Or dig around the site and vote for something that you like more. Believe me when I tell you that this could very well be thirtieth or thirty-first most important election of your lifetime.

1 I know that the idea of voter fraud is enticing, but please resist the urge to cast more than a single ballot. A second vote will function much like Darby O’Gill’s fourth wish.
