About

Hack-n-Slash Holidays is an extreme horror anthology (see Ruthless: An Extreme Shock Horror Collection for an idea of the content we want) that will be full of twisted tales inspired by those special days on your calendar. We are open to any and all holidays, regardless of country or religion. If your sick mind can conjure up something for St. Patrick’s Day, we want to read it. Hanukah, Boxing Day, 4th of July, Arbor Day, anything at all, but make it shocking, make me widen my eyes and say, “What the f**k?” If you are scared to let anyone read it, I probably want to see it. Of course, we will be tackling the major, popular holidays. Each major holiday—Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve—will have its own section, along with hardcore, vomit-inducing black and white sketches.
