October Nights Press will be seeking submissions for “GabaGhoul: A Mafia Horror Anthology”. This anthology will merge the thrills and chills of horror with the dark underworld and dealings of the mafia. A hitman haunted by past contracts? A boss who dabbles in the dark arts? A ghastly horror lurking in the shadows that chills the most hardened capo to the bone? There are so many themes to explore and organized crime groups from around the world.

We are accepting stories from all horror sub-genres. Slow burn, splatter, erotica, extreme, etc are all welcomed so long as they marry horror with the mafia.

– Stories must be horror and mafia themed, including mafia famalies and crime organizations from all over the world.

– No reprints

– Simultaneous submissions are fine but please let me know

– Absolutely no AI-written or AI-assisted stories. Seriously, you’ll be whacked.

Payment
