Cruentus Libri Press is pleased to announce its first anthology, now open for submission.

100 Horrors is a test for every horror writer who thinks that short stories are a little too wordy. We are looking for tales of horror that manage to make our skin crawl, all within 100 words.

Now, we’re not exactly inflexible here, so we’ll give you 5% each way. Yes, you read that right. The word limit for submissions is STRICTLY 95-105 words, not counting the title. There is no restriction on theme, just give us 100 word stories that are as brief and as devastating as a blow to the head from an ice-pick.

We are looking to include 100 stories, from 100 separate authors in this anthology, so get your writing hats on and send us something short and nasty.
