Donald Quist’s story “The Ghosts of Takahiro Okyo” has been selected as a runner-up in the Howard Frank Mosher Short Fiction Prize.

Here’s what Gish Jen, this year’s judge, says about it:

“I found The Ghosts of Takahiro Okyo convincing, gripping, atmospheric, and shattering — a truly creepy, original, ambitious story that moves with great agility and touches on something profound.”
