The anthology will be released as an ebook via Amazon for Kindle and other ebook outlets.
What we are looking for: Dark fiction! Goblins, ghouls, vampires, werewolves, zombies, witches… any monster is ripe for the pickings. We want stories that make your skin crawl and the hair to stand up on the back of your neck.
What we DO NOT want: NO gore/ splatter/ excessive violence/ torture. Of course people will die. Zombies will take a bite now and then. Creepy, not stomach-turning. No racism, homophobia, sexism…
For examples to give you inspiration: Edgar Allan Poe, John Polidori, Henry James, James Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker… the masters of fear and suspense.
