The CIA keeps checking this page. (That's on a need to know basis.)

We're broadcasting this page through millions of lightyears of outerspace to vast colonies of extraterrestrial beings who absolutely love dark speculative fiction.

Might as well advertise to them all.

Okay, its simple.

Every year at the end of the year, we will choose the best fiction and poetry from that year's issues.

Our own opinions and your input will determine what will found the "Best Of" Far Side of Midnight.

And it will be profitable, as first, second and third place will have prizes.

What they will be, we don't know yet.

But we have a whole year to figure it out.
