Trembling With Fear

Trembling With Fear 9-22-24

Greetings, children of the dark. At the risk of becoming a broken record, another plea from me this week: if you submitted to our last short story window, please know we will get back to you as soon as we can. It takes a long time to read through the submissions and collate our thoughts – we always make sure multiple people read them so we don’t introduce any bias – and we’re all volunteers so things can get stuck for a while, especially over summer. We do try to make sure we get back to you before the next open window, which is coming up quickly!

But also: remember we’re only open to short story submissions for two weeks every season. This is to help us manage the submissions, because we were getting such a backlog that people were waiting over a year to be published, which I’m sure you’ll agree is less than ideal. We don’t have infinite space or budget, alas, and so we can only take one short story every week. That means there’s only 52 spots each year, and we get more than that for each two-week open call. You’re all way too keen and talented! 

But now, it’s time to prep for this week’s darkly speculative menu. This week we head to a birthday party for a very particular mother, thanks to Dave Musson. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • James Callan’s rural drama,
  • Jonathon Worlde’s otherworldly issues, and
  • Troi-Jeantte’s trapped trauma

Some quick reminders to finish up:

Did you meet and greet all the new residents of TWF Towers? In case you missed it, last week we announced our new Assistant Editors, one to oversee each section of submissions. Meet them over in this article, but please join me in welcoming:

  • Assistant Editor – Specials: Lynn Huggins-Cooper
  • Assistant Editor – Serials: Vicky Brewster
  • Assistant Editor – Unholy Trinities: Sarah Elliott

Remember we’re currently open to:

  • Submissions for our Halloween special
  • Serialised stories
  • Drabbles
  • Unholy trinities

But we won’t open to regular ol’ short story subs until 1 October, when our next 2-week window creaks open. 

Over to you, Stuart.

Hi all!

Whew. Not much progress on the website this week. Lauren has been away for a trip and we’ll be working on both it and setting up the general layout for our next physical release of Trembling With Fear once she’s settled back in this week. So, hopefully we’re going from not much site news to a whole lot! 🙂 

  • For actual Horror Tree updates, I did push forward some progress in a couple of areas in the past week, both on the theme and our next anthology release. Not much to report on yet, but progress is being made!
  • Thank you so much to everyone who has become a Patreon for Horror Tree. We honestly couldn’t make it without you all!
  • The paperback is now live! Please be sure to order a copy of Shadowed Realms on Amazon, we’d love for you to check it out!

Offhand, if you’ve ordered Trembling With Fear Volume 6, we’d appreciate a review! 🙂

Greetings, children of the dark. Did you meet and greet all the new residents of TWF Towers? In case you missed it, last week we announced our new Assistant Editors, one to oversee each section of submissions. Meet them over in this article, but please join me in welcoming:

  • Assistant Editor – Specials: Lynn Huggins-Cooper
  • Assistant Editor – Serials: Vicky Brewster
  • Assistant Editor – Unholy Trinities: Sarah Elliott

A lot of this week’s intro is going to echo the last one, mainly because the call-outs are the same!

  • We’re currently open to submissions for our Halloween special!
  • We’d love to see more Serials coming in!
  • And please feed the drabble beast!

If you submitted to our last short story window, please know we will get back to you as soon as we can. It takes a long time to read through the submissions and collate our thoughts – we always make sure multiple people read them so we don’t introduce any bias – and we’re all volunteers so things can get stuck for a while, especially over summer. We’ll be much quicker with these things now we have extra hands on deck.

Enough with the welcomes and the caveats: let’s get to this week’s darkly speculative menu. This week’s gothic main course is some quietly longing hauntings that whisper in the air, courtesy of Mave L. Goren. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Ryan Benson’s emotional depths,
  • Christina Nordlander’s woodland waiting, and
  • Andrew Leonard’s skewed caring

BTW as a final thought, let me direct your attention to a blog published by the inimitable Gabino Iglesias last week. He’s using his investigative journalism background to trap scammers preying on the self-publishing market. Very worth your time; you’ll find it on his Substack. 

Now, over to you, Stuart.

Hi all!

Whew. Another busy week. I “think” I know how our future homepage is officially going to be laid out. We still have some UI tweaks to make, but I believe we have the overall idea set. More on that, soonish! 

As we’re sticklers to only listing open calls with deadlines so there is as little clutter as possible on the site, I’ve got a really cool heads up on an open-until-full offer from the publisher Velox Books! They’re looking to take your collections or short horror stories and will pay a modest advance against royalties. You can find the full details right here. Just remember, they’re going to fill up sooner than later so if you’ve got a collection that is looking for a home, this is one to check out! 

  • For actual Horror Tree updates, I did push forward some progress in a couple of areas in the past week, both on the theme and our next anthology release. Not much to report on yet, but progress is being made!

Greetings, children of the dark. I got a bit of a shock earlier—always a good way to introduce some dark fiction, right? Someone had asked me how long I’d been editing TWF and I honestly couldn’t remember, so I looked back at my files to see… that this edition marks my 112th in the editor seat! I can’t believe it’s been that long. More than two years! It feels like yesterday the great Stephanie Ellis sat me down in Scarborough to see if I’d be interested in stepping into her shoes, and now, here we are, more than two years later, introducing a new and expanded team for TWF.

Yep, we’ve given each section of TWF a dedicated editor, and I’m so grateful to these wonderful people for putting their hands up to move into TWF Towers and help the bossman and I with this mega-thing we try to lovingly caress into existence every week. You’ll find out more about our new Assistant Editors over in this article, but please join me in welcoming:

  • Assistant Editor – Specials: Lynn Huggins-Cooper
  • Assistant Editor – Serials: Vicky Brewster
  • Assistant Editor – Unholy Trinities: Sarah Elliott

You may recognise Sarah as our new Interviews Coordinator, too—she’s taking over! (Look out, Stuart…)

We also welcome Annette Livingstone to the team as our Editorial Assistant. She’ll be helping Stuart and I keep on top of the always-overflowing inbox and general administrative bits and pieces to keep us ticking over. An absolute godsend, if you ask me!

And that just leaves me to remind you we’re currently open to submissions for our Halloween special—and Lynn looks forward to reading them!—and we’d love to see more Serials coming in, too. (I think Sarah’s got a healthy dose of Unholy Trinities, but could always do with more!)

Oh: and please feed the drabble beast! It’s looking at me far too closely, like I’m just right for its next meal… 

So to this week’s darkly speculative menu. We kick off this week with Andy Martin showing why you need to be careful dancing around a stone circle. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Rich Duncan’s eldritch stirring,
  • F.M. Scott’s CCTV antics, and
  • Richard Meldrum’s grumpy survivors.

Now, over to you, boss.

Hi all!

What a crazy week! First, a huge thanks to Corinne, as this is her second week at the helm of our newsletter, and she penned it while suffering a massive migraine! Also, Belinda is out, so a HUGE thanks to our interview coordinator, the super versatile and talented Sarah Elliott, for recording this week’s outing! 

  • For actual Horror Tree updates, I did push forward some progress in a couple of areas in the past week, both on the theme and our next anthology release. Not much to report on yet, but progress is being made!

Greetings, children of the dark. It’s the first of the month, and the first day of a new season, and we’re getting ever-closer to our favourite month of the year: Spooktober. We are, of course, running our Halloween special again this year and are still open to submissions for that—please make sure your story is themed to Halloween! If it’s a general short story, you’ll have to wait until our next submission window is open, which will be in exactly one month from now. 

Let’s whet your appetites by diving into this week’s darkly speculative menu. We kick off this week by going behind the scenes of a webcam girl facing some peculiar monsters, thanks to Devon Fall. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Jen Poteet’s woodland wander,
  • Shiloh Kulman’s unwanted visitor, and
  • Mansi R’s visionary child.

Before you jump in, one quick plea to those who’ve been considering subbing to us: we are looking with much effort for MORE DRABBLES, as always, but also our serialised stories need some love. Have you got a longer story (up to 15,000 words) that can be easily broken into chapters for us to publish over a weekly period? We have a new serials editor who awaits your great and magnificent new worlds! Sub in the usual place. 

And a final plug: on Tuesday (3 September), I’m hosting a panel of writers from across the fantasy spectrum—James Logan, Kit Whitfield, and Peter Mclean—at Waterstones Covent Garden, in central London, on behalf of Arcadia and the British Fantasy Society. Join us to hear about the speculative fiction market in the UK, and what it’s like to be navigating it in the trad pub way. Tickets and details over here. 

Now, over to you, Stuart.

Ena Sinclair, a Scottish mage and spy, abandons her role in a prominent Edinburgh college and escapes to London to avoid an arranged marriage.

But London is not safe: a mage killer is on the hunt…

Abducted by vampires ‘for her safety’, Ena is terrified the nest owner will drain her to fuel his power but also curious to learn about his magic. Taking this once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn more about what her college had warned were dangerous creatures, Ena finds herself fond of the nest, particularly their bonded leaders, Addison and Tobias.

As survivors of the Immortal War, the pair still navigate a schism in vampire society that they are trying to heal. They now seek a peaceful life and offer Ena protection until she finds her own path.

…and dark things await them all.

Ena’s college seeks to forcibly return her to Edinburgh, and a killer is still on the loose. Hidden resentments surface, and Ena pays the price. Magically unstable and isolated, she must rely on her non-magical training to avoid being turned or used as a weapon to harm the nest she has grown to care for.

Hi all!

I don’t really shout out our staff enough, but this week, I wanted to throw a couple of specific ones out there. Thank you to Cathy and Sarah. Our review and interview for scheduling is really on point right now and I feel like we’ve got more of a buffer than we’ve had in awhile which really helps a LOT for scheduling and whatnot. Now, for the standards:

  • Thank you so much to everyone who has become a Patreon for Horror Tree. We honestly couldn’t make it without you all!

Greetings, children of the dark. Ever been exhausted from just too much creative stimulation? Worldcon was an absolute bloody blast but so overwhelming – I gave up on attending panels by the end of day 3, and spent the final two days wandering the halls, chatting to people, and being present at the British Fantasy Society’s fan table (we signed up so many new members!!) – and I was glad to have a few days in rural Yorkshire to recover. But the creative stimulation just kept coming: our cabin was nestled by a babbling brook and surrounded by trees so was just gorgeously relaxing; I spent my birthday hanging out in the shadow of Pendle Hill, the site of one of England’s most infamous witch trials (and the legal precedent that let Salem use children’s testimony); and then a very gothic and rainy afternoon in Haworth, home to the Brontes. My brain and my heart were full… until I returned to reality with a thud! Why do we need to earn money and stuff like that? It’s so stupid.

Anyways, I hope you’ve enjoyed the darkly speculative offerings over the last few weeks, because we have another edition for you today chock full of the good stuff. This week’s menu kicks off with a tale of family traditions (or is it curses?) and a set of doomed twins from Christopher Pate. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Hannah Greer’s zombie heartbreak,
  • Andrew Keyworth’s disturbing art, and
  • George Davey’s tree surgery.

Before you jump in, one quick plea to those who’ve been considering subbing to us: we are looking with much effort for MORE DRABBLES, as always, but also our serialised stories need some love. Have you got a longer story (up to 15,000 words) that can be easily broken into chapters for us to publish over a weekly period?

Greetings, children of the dark. I’m officially on hols this week – well, technically as you read this I’m back home, but I was away while the boss man needed this week’s edition – so we’re going to jump straight in.

This week’s menu of dark speculative fiction kicks off with a haunting piece of art from the pen of Caitlin Upshall. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Debbie Paterson’s coming dark,
  • Jack Fennell’s nightmare harvest, and
  • DJ Tyrer’s abandoned jungle.

And remember, we’re always looking for submissions to our drabbles (insatiable need!!), as well as the unholy trinities of three interconnected drabbles and the much longer serialised fiction column. Our special editions and short stories, however, have very specific windows. 

If you want to remind yourself of our various deadlines, you’ll find them always on our submissions guidelines page. To recap, our open windows are:

Special editions

  • Valentine’s: 1 December and 31 January.
  • Summer: 1 April to 31 July. 
  • Halloween: 1 August to 13 October.
  • Christmas: 1 November to 7 December.

Short stories for the weekly edition

  • Winter: 1-15 January
  • Spring: 1-15 April
  • Summer: 1-15 July
  • Fall: 1-15 October

Next week, I’ll hopefully be over the post-con blues after a few days in England’s northern witch country surrounded by the moors of Wuthering Heights. 

Over to you, Stuart.

Hi all!

So, big changes are coming to our newsletter. We’re switching writers and it is so strange to be saying farewell to Holley (well, when it comes to the newsletter, not from Horror Tree, as she’ll still be making the occasional article or review appearances!) Her taking over the newsletter from me was an absolutely huge lift on my time and being able to try to make progress in other areas. Holley, you’ve been absolutely amazing, and I appreciate all of the work that you’ve put into our newsletter over the past few years! You’ve really made it your own and have give me a huge relief of time!

With that in mind, I’d like to welcome our very own Corinne Pollard, who already writes for the site, to be taking over newsletter writing! Please send her a follow on Instagram and Twitter as well as a warm welcome if you haven’t already 🙂 

Now, for the standards:

  • Thank you so much to everyone who has become a Patreon for Horror Tree. We honestly couldn’t make it without you all!
  • The paperback is now live! Please be sure to order a copy of Shadowed Realms on Amazon, we’d love for you to check it out!

Trembling With Fear – Summer 2024 Edition

What a wild summer it’s been! Lucky for us, it’s not over yet.

This is undoubtedly my favorite season because summer brings a whole slew of activity. Whether you’re going on vacation, barbecuing in the backyard, tanning at the beach or just trying to escape the heat, there are endless things to do, making it one of the most vibrant times of year. It is also a great theme for our writers because they have a variety of ideas to play with. I am always pleased and surprised by the stories we get for our Summer Edition. While we had a lot of great submissions this year, we narrowed it down to a few that really encapsulate the thrills of summer. And yes, by thrills I do mean thrills.

Happy Reading!

Shalini

Shalini Bethala

Editor, Trembling With Fear

As the sun blazes overhead, casting long shadows that stretch across deserted streets and sun-soaked beaches, we find ourselves at the zenith of summer. It’s that time of year when the world seems to sizzle, both with heat and with the promise of things lurking just beyond the golden glow of daylight. But before the fireflies fade and the ice cream melts, we invite you to dive into something a little darker, a little more sinister—our Summer Edition of Trembling With Fear.

This year, we’re turning up the heat in ways that will leave you sweating more than the August sun. Think of this collection as the ice cream truck of terror, where each story is a frozen treat with a center that’s just a little too cold, a little too sweet, and definitely too eerie to forget. We’ve gathered tales that capture the essence of summer—the good, the bad, and the downright terrifying. From sun-drenched nightmares to the mysteries that stir when the last beachgoer packs up and leaves, these stories will remind you that the warmth of summer can hide the coldest fears.

Now, because no edition is complete without a little humor, here’s a dad joke to keep things light… or at least lighter than the stories you’re about to read: Why don’t skeletons fight each other in the summer? Because they don’t have the guts!

So, pull up a lounge chair, slather on the sunscreen, and get ready to be scorched by tales that will make your blood run cold. This summer, Trembling With Fear has something special in store, and we hope you savor every bone-chilling moment.

Happy reading… and remember, in the heat of summer, no one can hear you scream.

Greetings, children of the dark. Greetings from Worldcon! This is past Lauren, writing to you in the future, hoping you are fine and dandy on this August Sunday. These weeks are crazy busy for me, so I’m going to just jump into the good stuff – though if you happen to be wandering around Glasgow’s Scottish Events Campus this weekend, do keep an eye out for me. Let’s compare TWF notes!

This week’s menu of dark speculative fiction kicks off with a dystopian sci-fi-ish peek into Patrick O’Malley’s head – something worthy of this big weekend of global SF celebrations. That’s followed by the short, sharp speculations of:

  • Christina Nordlander’s body troubles,
  • Jamey Toner’s tech issues, and
  • Sian O’Hara’s tea and cake.

I’m going to assume Stuart will share the news below about our much-beefed-up TWF team, but rest assured when I’m back at my desk I’ll do major introductions to these wonderful humans. Quick word to the wise: the British Invasion of TWF Towers is complete!

So we have a big new team, which makes it a good time to remind you that we’re open round the clock for drabbles, unholy trinities, and serialised stories. Fresh blood (and eyes) await your works!

Over to you, Stuart.

Hi all!

As I mentioned last week, we’re working on getting the new Trembling With Fear staff a bit more up to speed! Progress has been made, and we’re going to be making the full announcement soon as to who has joined our editorial team, as well as giving intros to everyone! As of the time of writing this update, I have found out that we’ll be having one other staff member switching things up soon as well but more on that soon. While I was hoping to do the introductory shout-outs this week, I do believe that what we have in mind will do much better at really letting everyone get to know our new staff. 

Now, for the standards:

  • Thank you so much to everyone who has become a Patreon for Horror Tree. We honestly couldn’t make it without you all!
  • The paperback is now live! Please be sure to order a copy of Shadowed Realms on Amazon, we’d love for you to check it out!

Offhand, if you’ve ordered Trembling With Fear Volume 6, we’d appreciate a review! 🙂
