ARCHER PUBLISHING is seeking short stories and novellas for its horror anthology, Dark Mirrors (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.
We are not looking for science fiction, fantasy, westerns, or romance, unless these genres also contain strong elements of frightful horror. A hybrid story is acceptable.
Stories can be written by LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ authors, and should include diversity. Characters may include LGBTQ and/or non-LGBTQ characters, and should be a mixture of any race, nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, class, etc. An inclusive story is an accessible story.
