Adventures with Taxidermy Contest Winners! 

I am very pleased to announce the winners of Ravishing Beasts' first ever writing contest.  A huge thank you to all writers.  From maggoty squirrels to jellied pig eyeballs to a fox mask LED mount - entries covered just about every aspect of the lurid world of taxidermy.  It was a close race.  But after much deliberation, here are the winners. 

First place: Andy Tompkins

Second place:  Marisa Rand

Third place: Merle Patchett

 

Congratulations to all!  Read all the entries here +  Winning entries will receive a copy of Melissa Milgrom's Still Life: Adventure in Taxidermy.  

If you are kicking yourself for not entering, not to worry!  Save up your story for next year's contest, when the prizes will include a copy of my own cultural history of taxidermy -- The Breathless Zoo: Taxidermy and the Cultures of Longing.
