🩸CALLING ALL HORROR WRITERS! 🩸
Think your nightmares are worth reading? Prove it.

I’m curating a chilling horror short story anthology and we want your twisted tales. In the style of Victorian Penny Dreadfuls, I am curating an anthology titled Post Mortems. Whether it's psychological terror, supernatural suspense, or blood-soaked gore, we’re looking for the next generation of horror voices to keep readers awake at night.

🔪 What we want:

• Short stories (1,500–5,000 words)

• Original horror fiction only

• Diverse, fresh, and terrifying perspectives

🕯️ Deadline: September 1st 2025 to be published in time for Halloween
📖 Submit to: flittermousehistory@gmail.com
💀 Selected authors will be featured in a professionally published anthology with full credit, bio, and more. You will be able to purchase copies at cost and sell on your own volition. 

🔪Authors must be 18+
🔪Send written work with subject title FMP Submission.
🔪Must be edited, ready to be published (one editing run through will occur for cohesiveness but we will not alter your work).
🔪Authors can submit more than one piece of work. Depending on the amount of submissions and fit, more than one piece may or may not be published.
🔪Must be original work by the author. You may submit the work elsewhere, however if you do publish elsewhere, we ask that you let us know so we can withdraw the work.
🔪Once authors are picked, we will ask for an author photo and bio to include in the anthology.
🔪Feel free to contact us through the website with any questions.
🔪Most of all, this is to create a spooky anthology to showcase your work. Let’s have fun with it!
