A Whodunit Halloween Anthology A project of Pill Hill Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About This short story anthology will feature Halloween mysteries. We want interesting submissions where the mystery is solved through the course of the story. The protagonist does not have to be a detective (though detective stories are certainly welcome) as long as there is a mystery, an investigation, and the solution is revealed. The setting must take place at or around Halloween. Stories should be realistic (meaning that the events could actually occur without the aid of magic or some other fantastical element). They should take place on Earth. They can take place at any time - past, present, future. We are looking for a good variety of bizarre and intricate stories that celebrate the 'whodunit' genre and Halloween.
