Call for Submissions

I am editing the anthology series Best Horror of the Year (Night Shade Books) and am currently reading for the eleventh volume, covering material published in 2018.

I am looking for stories and poetry from all branches of horror: traditional-supernatural to the borderline, including high-tech sf horror, supernatural stories, psychological horror, dark crime, or anything else that might qualify. This is reprint, so I’m only reading material published in or about to be published in 2018. Deadline is December 15th 2018. Authors should check that their publishers are sending review copies to me as I only request them once. If a book or magazine is coming out after the deadline, I’ll look at galleys or manuscripts.

I will look at e-versions of anthologies and collections if they are navigable and have running heads. Otherwise, I will not read them. I always prefer print, if your book is available that way.

You can query as to whether I have your collection or an anthology/magazine in which you have a story at datlow@yahoo.com

There is a summation of “the year in horror” in the front of the volume. This includes novels, nonfiction, poetry, art books, and “odds and ends”– material that doesn’t fit elsewhere but that might interest horror readers. But I must be aware of this material in order to mention it.

Best Horror of the Year Volume Eleven
PMB 391
511 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10011-8436

****I regularly read many magazines/webzines that publish horror (Black Static, Dark Discoveries, Cemetery Dance, F&SF, The Dark, Nightmare, and crime digests, etc) and I receive many anthologies and single author collections.

Again, ask your publisher to send me the magazine or book. For online publications, email individual files, mentioning on the ms where the story has been published.

If I choose a story you will be informed. For confirmation that I‘ve received something, enclose a self-addressed-stamped postcard and I will let you know the date it arrived.
thank you
