Submission Guidelines for DEAD GIRLS WALKING

DEAD GIRLS WALKING

Anthology of Horror Stories featuring Female Ghosts

Wicked Shadow Press invites horror fiction submissions for publication in its anthology "Dead Girls Walking" (Expected release: June 2024). The submission deadline is May 12, 2024.

This collection seeks to explore the eerie, unsettling, and chilling narratives centered around female ghosts. We invite writers to contribute their most haunting tales that blend traditional ghost stories with fresh perspectives and complex female spectres.

We are excited for you to unearth the stories of female phantoms like never before. Whether it’s a tale of revenge, loss, or unrequited love, we look forward to your contributions that might just be too haunting to read alone in the dark.

All Horror Subgenres Welcome.

THEME: The story MUST feature at least one female ghost in a major/prominent manner.
