Call for Submissions to Two Anthologies with Themes of Crime & Mystery and Horror & Suspense: Flame Tree Publishing

Bodies in the Library (Crime & Mystery) and Footsteps in the Dark (Horror & Suspense)

Two new titles in our long-standing series of 480-page short story collections. As always, we combine fantastic new writing with curated classic texts. For Bodies in the Library we need tales of crime in stately houses, lonely mansions, ancient castles. Footsteps in the Dark will tease out the terror of the alleyways, the edges of the town, the frontier shacks, the winter forests and lonely mountain hideaways. An emphasis on heightened senses would differentiate the best stories from the rest! Word length is most likely to be successful at 2000–4000, but we will still read stories slightly outside this range.

Payment will be 8 cents for each word (SFWA qualifying market rate) and 6 cents for reprints.

Submissions will open 11th of November, and close 1st of December.

We will aim to read each story and confirm its status within 3 months of the submission deadline. Learn more here.
