Wicked Shadow Press shall publish mystery, thrillers, science fiction, horror, fantasy and their sub-genres.
Wicked Shadow Press invites fiction submissions for publication in its anthology of monster fiction "ABOMINABLE" (Expected release: October 2022). The final date of submission is September 15, 2022
Wicked Shadow Press is elated to announce its second venture - an anthology of Monster fiction: "Abominable"
We encourage writers to go ga-ga when it comes to the interpretation of Monsters.
If you are a horror or thriller writer. choose from a vast list that features the Yeti, Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, Krakens and more, or make up your own cryptozoological nightmare!
If you are into fantasy, you can always go for a breathtaking retelling of "The Beauty and the Beast" or adapt one of Grimm's tales and take it on an intergalactic ride!
Speaking of galaxies, in case you are a science fiction author, we would love to read something in the vein of "Frankenstein". We can never have enough of "mad" scientists intent on releasing their inner Mr. Hyde!
PLEASE NOTE that this is an anthology with a THEME. ONLY those submissions that feature monsters, shall be considered for publication.
WE ARE ACCEPTING
Short Story: (between 1500-8000 words) Send no more than TWO short stories per submission.
