DARK MIRRORS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF HORROR – DEADLINE: APRIL 1, 2022
ARCHER PUBLISHING is seeking short stories and novellas for its horror anthology, Dark Mirror (2022). We want stories to be well-written, fast paced, topical, progressive, thematic, and very entertaining. Can include straight-up horror, dark thrillers, noir or neo-noir, or speculative fiction. Can include werewolves, vampires, monsters, creepy castles, dark passageways, devil possession, serial killers, etc., so long as the story is dark and scary. Imagine the tale on the big screen. Imagine the story is going to be read for Halloween. Push boundaries of imagination. Horrify, gall, astonish, provoke.

POETS & WRITERS
Poets & Writers Magazine is unable to check all claims made by advertisers. Readers should be aware of publishers who charge, rather than pay, an author for publication; publishers who do not pay for publication, even in copies; publishers who require a purchase before publication; and contests that charge high reading fees. The magazine recommends that you see the publication and submission guidelines before submitting a manuscript.
