Attention: Current open calls
Visit Shadowy Innsmouth
Come visit shadowy Innsmouth, Massachussets! Take in the historic architecture of our quaint town, especially the original Esoteric Order of Dagon temple! The cool salt air will have a transformative effect on your dry, scaly skin! Go diving at Devil’s Reef and see the wonders sunken there! Innsmouth is calling to you!
In the upcoming anthology Visit Shadowy Innsmouth we are looking to explore the themes of outsiders, tourists even, that have encounters in depths of Lovecraft Country. The stories should be set in locales created by HP Lovecraft or his peers including Arkham and its stately university Miskatonic, Innsmouth, Dunwich, as well as the rural environs about these ageless towns. For our writers in the UK, I am sure there are parallels in your countryside and if not, feel free to create your own. The same goes for US authors as well as the rest of the world. Isolated towns that hold their secrets are the perfect setting.
Now for the twist…
Each story will need to be accompanied by a pitch from a travel agency or tourism board which would lure outsiders into the area, causing them to fall prey to the eldritch horrors behind the stone walls and hidden under the roiling surf. Feel free to reference my pitch at the beginning of this message. I am also including a link to the Wiki page for Lovecraft Country.
Please let me know if you are interested in participating in, what is essentially, Within Stranger Aeons 2. I am inviting all the original participants before opening it to the general public.
Standard Anthology Format- 3K-9K, Times New Roman or Calibri, double spaced. There is no deadline for this book. Consider open until full until further notice. A PDF copy of the book will be provided to all authors chosen for the final book.
Send submissions to revfish@gmail.com Attn: Innsmouth Submission. Include your bio and tourist pitch with the story.
United Stakes of America
United Stakes of America is the counterpoint to the trend of modern vampire stories. Gone are the Eurotrash, the seductive vixen and the sparkly teens.
This collection of horror stories will feature the Hunters that stalk down the creatures of the night and slay them. We aren't necessarily looking for retellings of Van Helsing (unless you truly have a unique take on it), Buffy and Anita. We want your new take on the classic story of normal people fighting back against the walking hunger called Vampire.
