LE FANTASTIQUE – A Literary Tribute to CLIVE BARKER
We invite you to join us in a singular celebration of one of horror and speculative fiction’s most revolutionary voices—CLIVE BARKER.
Published by Nocturnicorn Books, a boutique literary imprint.
Clive Barker has long stood as a beacon in the realms of horror and fantasy—praised by none other than Stephen King as “the Future of Horror.” This anthology seeks to spotlight the groundbreaking and genre-defying narratives that have lifted Barker to iconic status. We are looking for short stories, flash fiction, personal anecdotes, and experimental pieces that channel the spirit, innovation, and dark wonder of Barker’s vast body of work. Contributions that delve deeply into themes of transformation, the grotesque, and the fantastical are most welcome.
