The stories do not have to be about the soldiers who fought, they can be about the people left behind at home or anyone as long as the Civil war is prominently mentioned in the story. It should also be noted that historical accuracy is a requirement. (i.e. battle dates and locations. Weapons and tactics. etc) What we want: We are looking for short fiction horror stories between 4,000 and 7,000 words pertaining to the ‘’Civil War’ theme of the book. Any plot that is horror themed is acceptable except for sexual content including but not limited to rape, and sexual torture of any kind. Remember that horror takes many guises.

First publishing rights, the right to use the story for as long as there is demand for the book, the right to edit each story for any missed grammatical errors, and the right to use parts of the book and the author's name for promotion. You will keep all other rights and can republish the story anytime you choose....
