Deadline: Aug 20th, 2013 Payment: Exposure only. Flash fiction & Short Stories (1,000 – 4,000 words) 2013 is the year a British staple of science-fiction and horror celebrates its 50th anniversary – Doctor Who.

Upon acceptance into the anthology, you agree that Horrified Press holds exclusive publishing rights for six months from the date of publication; after that date has passed, all intellectual property...
