Taking Submissions: Crossroads In The Dark

April 17, 2015

burning-willow-press

Deadline: April 17, 2015
Payment: $50 for your story upon acceptance and evenly split royalties among contributors

ANNOUNCEMENT! At Burning Willow Press, LLC, we had been struggling with a decision. We were looking to put together a horror anthology, but weren’t sure what to do. Zombies are done all the time with the rush of TWD, and serial killers? Overdone. Well, a decision has been made and you don’t see enough of these gems out there. The inspiration for this anthology is an indie film called “Would You Rather.” No one recognize it? This film is about testing your will to survive against your moral boundaries. If you haven’t guessed it yet, this is what the anthology will be about. Would you sacrifice your morals to survive? Or would you force someone to make that decision? That is all up to you and, in this anthology, anything goes! We will choose 25 of the best submissions to be included. All submissions must be sent to Steven Winfrey, BWP Horror Acquisitions Editor at [email protected] And just for those who have never seen it and need some inspiration:
