Chilling Tales: In words, alas, drown I Canadian Authors Only Deadline: July 30th, 2011 Payment: Payment is pro rated as follows: $50 for stories under 1,500 words, rising to a maximum of $100 for stories up to 3,500 words and $150.00 for stories between 3,500 and 7,500 words EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing is delighted to announce that Chilling Tales: In words, alas, drown I, is now open for submissions. Submissions open: May 1, 2011 through July 30, 2011. Based on the award-winning Tesseracts series of anthologies, which showcase the best science fiction and fantasy from across Canada, Chilling Tales: In words, alas, drown I, is the second volume of an annual dark fantasy and horror series featuring Canada’s dark scribes. Submission Guidelines: Chilling Tales: In words, alas, drown I seeks dark fantasy and horror stories from across the country. The editor’s aesthetic is broad, and his definition of horror is diverse and wide-ranging. That said, familiar tropes like vampires, zombies, and werewolves will be a hard sell unless they are truly original in content, voice, and style. Stories do not necessarily have to be set in Canada (though that is a plus), nor do they have to have a supernatural or speculative element. I’m simply looking for the best dark fiction, and truly chilling tales. Please refer to the first volume of Chilling Tales, Evil Did I Dwell; Lewd I Did Live, for a sense of the editor’s tastes. The Submission Process: When: EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing announces that Chilling Tales: In words, alas, drown I, the next volume in the series of original anthologies of Canadian Dark Fantasy and Horror, will be open for submissions on May 1, 2011 through July 30, 2011, for publication in 2012.
