FLASH OF THE DEAD: Halloween '24
Anthology of Horror Flash Fictions
Wicked Shadow Press invites horror flash fiction submissions for publication in its anthology "Flash of the Dead: Halloween '24" (Expected release: Late September). The final date of submission is August 19, 2024
We're looking for spine-tingling tales that pack a punch in a small package. From ghosts and goblins to psychological terror and cosmic horror, we want it all – as long as it fits within our flash fiction format.
Embrace the spirit of Halloween! Stories that capture the essence of the holiday – whether through setting, atmosphere, or thematic elements – will have an edge in the selection process.
PLEASE NOTE that this is an anthology of horror stories with limited word count. ONLY those horror submissions that adhere to word count specifications, shall be considered for publication.
All Horror sub-genres are invited. Stories with Halloween as the theme or setting shall be given preference during selection.
WE ARE ACCEPTING:
Horror Flash Fiction: (between 50-1500 words) Please send no more than TWO flash fictions per submission.
We are accepting TRANSLATED WORKS as well. Submission of translated works must be accompanied by a statement declaring that the translator has obtained the author’s permission and their publisher’s, if required.
Simultaneous Submissions are welcome but the author must inform us by e-mail as soon as the submitted piece is accepted elsewhere. Pieces cannot be withdrawn once Wicked Shadow Press informs the author of its acceptance for publication.
We consider reprints but generally do not publish them unless they are absolutely exceptional. Please mention in the mail body in case your submission is a reprint.
At present, we are unable to pay our contributors. Each contributor shall receive a COMPLIMENTARY DIGITAL COPY of the anthology as soon as it publishes.
Manuscripts should directly be sent to WickedAnthology@gmail.com. Please write Submission for HALLOWEEN 24 in the subject line of your submission email.
Please submit your files in the following formats: .doc /.docx /.txt. DO NOT submit PDFs.
