David Barringer Wins Literary Prize!
My son, David Barringer, won the prestigious Black List Literary Prize for 2025 Unpublished Novel Award in the Horror category. The Black List,(not to be confused with the television series), recently announced the winners of its Unpublished Novel Award. They previously have focused on screenplays and scripts. The winners in each of the seven novel categories will be awarded $10,000.
"We created the Unpublished Novel Award to do what the Black List has always done: Find exceptional work and tell people about it,” said Black List founder Franklin Leonard in a statement. “The range and quality of these seven manuscripts is a reminder of just how much great work there is in the world that hasn’t yet been discovered. I look forward to seeing these novels on bookshelves and in book readers’ hands imminently.”
"HORROR
A Box Came for You is a 65,000-word horror novel about Mitch Siebold, a naïve young man from a troubled Michigan family, who moves to an LA apartment to start a new life when he opens the wrong moving boxes and releases a vengeful spirit bent on his humiliation."
