FLASH OF THE UNDEAD
Short Fictions featuring ZOMBIES, MUMMIES and other THINGS THAT DON'T DIE
Wicked Shadow Press invites horror flash fiction submissions for publication in its anthology "Flash of the Undead" (Expected release: May 2024). The final date of submission is April 23, 2024
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, as long as they feature a horror entity which can be effectively termed as "undead". Apart from zombies and mummies come to life, this can also include anything from revenants to yakshas. The logic of why your entity can be called "undead" should be clear to us, as well as the readers.
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 Pieces cannot be withdrawn once Wicked Shadow Press informs the author of its acceptance for publication.
We consider reprints but generally do not publish them unless they are absolutely exceptional.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 FLASH OF THE UNDEAD in the subject line of your submission email.
Please submit your files in the following formats: .doc /.docx /.txt. DO NOT submit PDFs.
