Beyond the Red Line Anthology A project of Inkd Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (June 2026). We provide the following information as an archive. About The act of redlining is born of segregationist ideologies from financial institutions to prevent services like healthcare, credit and insurance from being provided fairly to Black and Brown residents, cutting them off, and its practices continue to haunt the majority of us today from a socioeconomic standpoint. Through it all, we persist, but in these stories, location has NEVER stopped supernatural horrors or unknown anomalies….Show us the past, present, and future across the red ink rivers of blood, sweat, and tears that carve throughout different lands across the country and even, the world in its different forms and names.Horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy short stories that are told from the other side of town, where haunted, million dollar mansions don’t exist. We’re not looking for hauntings behind ornate doors with gilded knobs. We’re looking for time traveling public transit. The failed gentrification of haunted halfway houses. The home loan that takes more than you bargained for in the fine print…What cryptid slithers around the grounds of the trailer park taking cigarettes and souls?Do aliens browse for human specimens in your apartment complex?What evil grand wizard cursed the land you live in, poisoning the air and creating food deserts in your communities?What tales lie across the tracks and Beyond the Red Line?
