Please put SUBMISSION, followed by the title of the story, and word count, in the subject line of your email. Thank you.
What We Are Looking For:
We want all your dead, dying, and undead horrible people and creatures shooting it out, drinking it up, and carrying on in the old west. Think John Wayne and then make it truly terrifying. This is not strictly a horror anthology, this can be any genre—required to include the old west. Don’t forget about the old miners saloons and taverns, and the old mining shafts.
Prefer stories written in the third person—will consider first person if you knock our socks off.
We prefer short stories in the 3,500- 7,000 word range, but will consider stories from 1,500-10,000 words.
