What
are you afraid of? What causes the hair on your neck to stand up? Is there a
room in your childhood home that always gave you the creeps, or are there
personal demons you’ve never quite exorcised? We may have a way for you to
combat your fears – or perhaps you’d prefer to inflict a little horror on
someone else.
Elephant’s
Bookshelf Press is launching its next anthology, and if you haven’t figured it
out yet, we’re looking for horror stories. There are no real restrictions in
terms of genre – science fiction is just as welcome as general fiction – and they
can include monsters, the occult, paranormal investigators, kids exploring the attic,
you name it. Psychological horror, physical, metaphysical. All are welcome. (Except
for erotica; we still don’t do erotica.) Our review team will determine whether
something goes too far over the line, but we all love a good scare.
We are looking
for stories of no more than 5,000 words. We expect to publish it in September.
Authors will receive a copy of the printed book but no financial compensation. (For those new to EBP, we do
both print and electronic roughly at the same time.) The stories must not be
published elsewhere (if it’s something that appeared on your little blog, let
me know; we’ll assess that on a case-by-case basis). And the rights to the individual
stories will revert to the author.
Submission
deadline is 6/8/15.
Let me know if you have any questions (publisher@elephantsbookshelfpress.com).

Every time you take submissions I lose the nerve, but this time I am hoping to try!
Good! I'm looking forward to it :-)
And now I've submitted a story for this! Yay! I always want to submit stories for your anthologies, but I usually don't have any good ideas for the topic at the time.
Thanks, EB! I'm looking forward to reading it!
