Taking Submissions: ‘Haunted House’ And ‘Cosy Crime’

Deadline: July 29th, 2018 Payment: 6 cents per word. We're excited to open for submissions to the first two of four anthologies set for publication in 2019: Haunted Houseand Cosy Crime. These will join a thriving list of Gothic Fantasy titles, including Supernatural Horror, Robots & Artificial Intelligence, Dystopia Utopia, and more. Again, we are looking for around twenty to thirty short stories by contemporary writers to complement a selection of classic tales in these anthologies. We are keen to encourage new writers, without prejudice to age, background or previous publication history.

Do you have any stories that might fit? Now accepting submissions for this anthology. Formal Call for Submissions (2018) We are looking for new and recent short stories.
