Taking Submissions: Fear’s Accomplice Volume 2

Deadline: June 1st, 2024
Payment: £5
Theme: All styles or horror, likes the types of tales you’d see in Tales from the Crypt, Twilight Zone, and similar

There is no theme. As long as your story is in the horror genre, I’m interested. Check out Fear’s Accomplice Volume 1 or Fear’s Accomplice: Halloween to get an idea of style. Think of Tales from the Crypt, Twighlight Zone, and similar. I want variation. Don’t be afraid of violence or strong language, though. You’re free to write any style of horror you choose.

Zombies, werewolves, vampires, etc, are more than welcome, but they are something of a hard sell. Make it unique or interesting.

Word count: 2,000 – 5,000 words. Longer stories are OK but 2,000 really is the minimum.

Original stories only please. Reprints will not be accepted.

Do not submit stories written or assisted by AI. As a supporter of independent art, I have zero tolerance for stories created by artificial intelligence.

Stories will be exclusive to the publication for a period of six [6] months after release.

Payment: Contributors will receive £5 per accepted story, regardless of length. The book will feature one story per author.

Payment will be made by PayPal only. Contributors must nominate a suitable email address as part of the contract.

I aim to read and respond to submissions within one month of the end of the submission period. It may take longer if I get a large number of submissions. Feel free to query any time from July 2024.

This call is open until 1 June 2024.
