13 Prompts of Halloween: Under the Floorboards

Now, on day four, we draw inspiration from another great source of horror… Edgar Allan Poe.

Any true fans of Horror or Poe, should already know where this is going. It’s time to take a page out of “The Tell-tale Heart” by Poe.

Dun, Dun, DUN!!!

We cannot wait to see the results. Tweet us at #GreenLightLit and let us know how your work turned out! (Or, we’d really love to see your piece in our inbox for our next Halloween issue!
