Our congratulations go to Canadian author January Bain, whose tale of the dark world, A Slice of Undead Life, reclaims the top spot after an absence of some weeks.

But still in close contention is displaced leader, Alloa writer Gavin Broom, with Postcards from the Departure Lounge, his haunting story of a young girl’s escape.

We want our McTop Ten to reflect the views of all our readers, so please, please remember to rate your enjoyment of the stories you read!
