Taking Submissions: TALES OF THE UNDEAD – Hell Whore

Deadline: February 20th, 2013
Payment: Exposure only.

Flash fiction & Short Stories (1,000 – 3,000 words)

Poetry accepted.

Ladies of the night step forth to be counted, those who write, and those who choose to tell tales about them.

The scope of such a topic brings forth boundless notions for the budding author. Maybe your protagonist is a female reaper, or an undead harlot? Let’s get to know the sisters of obscenity. Give me deals with the devil, illegal experiments, and mysterious miracles. Zombies, Vampires, and Spirits are welcome. Make them dark, make them decadent, but above all make them sexy – these should be the kind of stories that wouldn’t usually see daylight.

No taboos, just let your imagination run wild.

Dark fairytales, bizarre, horror, surrealism, dark science-fiction are all cool here.
