Act of God A Disaster Horror Anthology A project of Wicked Shadow Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (July 2026). We provide the following information as an archive. About There is no monster in a flood. No motive in a wildfire. No malice in an earthquake… and no mercy, either. That’s the horror of natural disasters: the ground opens, the water rises, the sky takes on an ominous hue, and none of it is for you or against you. It simply doesn’t know you’re there.Wicked Shadow Press is looking for fiction that lives inside that indifference and doesn’t flinch from it. Floods, quakes, wildfires, blizzards, volcanoes, storms that haven’t been named yet, sinkholes opening under houses that stood for hundreds of years… Country of Publication & Year Established India Established in 2026 Publication Medium & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationOne-time publication AI Policy Unknown AI policy Fiction Closed Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: Horror Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: Flash Fiction: 100 - 1,000 words; Up to 2 pieces.
