Flash Phantoms was created for the love of flash horror fiction. It started out as a three-woman team, but we've already expanded!

 

We hope to pay our writers at some point, when we can afford it. 

​

We feature a Story of the Month in its own special area on the site, and post an interview with the winning writer.

 

Drop us a line to let us know what you think of this site, our concept...the color of our eyes...whatever...
