It's all over when the cookies are gone, and another Kim Harrison costume contest is done! You guys really outdid yourself this year, with lots of zombies and Mad Hatters, sweet kids, and scary ones too. We had over 300 entries, and the new category of pumpkins went so well I'll do it again next year. Here are the category winners! Grand Prize winner will be announced Tuesday 17th.

Category winners receive a signed cover flat of a Hollows book. Grand prize winner is pulled at random from the category winners, and will receive a signed ARC of BLACK MAGIC SANCTION.

There is no cash value for these prizes, and there's no need to purchase anything to enter. Odds of winning depend upon the number of entries received, and I pick the category winners depending upon my mood and the orientation of the moon. Submission indicates permission to put your picture up on the Internet. If you don't tell me how you want to be identified, I will use the name associated with your e-mail. (first name only)

Grand Prize!

Chris as Queen of Hearts

Babies and Pets (no prize)
