a KILLER AMONG DEMONS
SUBMISSIONS OPEN 1 JANUARY 2012 to 30 JUNE 2012
‘A Killer Among Demons’ aims to encapsulate the deep, intriguing, and twisted tales that arise from the wonderful combination of paranormal/supernatural crime.
We are going to leave the guidelines quite open for this one because, to be honest, we want to be surprised. Not sure? Think of a crime that can’t be solved through traditional methods; a murder committed by a mythical creature that, by all means shouldn’t exist; an on-the-seat-of-your-chair thriller of ghostly comeuppance; a Scooby-Doo-type pulpy crime where the gang tries to rip off the mask of a monster, only to find it’s its real face; and so on…
This title will be published as both a limited print edition and an eBook/digital edition.
We are looking for short fiction 3 000 to 10 000 words in length. If you have work outside this range, please query before sending. Please submit one story at a time.
Please submit via the standard methods you have already taken the time to research – eg. A readable font, 11 or 12pt, 1.5 to double line spacing, a header with the title and your name, and PAGE NUMBERS. You may include a cover letter/intro about yourself and, specifically, your writing.
Payment is a flat fee of AUD$75.00 per story (regardless of length) for both Australian print rights and International Digital rights, plus a contributor’s copy of the print edition.
The editor for this anthology is Craig Bezant.
