Cadavers A project of KnightWatch Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About As the title suggests, we are looking for stories about the dead. Not the walking dead. Not the undead. Dead bodies. Stories should be set in the real world, and must revolve around the adventures of bodies post-mortem. Think Johnny and the Dead, Weekend at Bernies, the Bodysnatchers. Stories can be humorous, horrific, Fortean, bizarre or mysterious. We are looking for new and original stories with surprising elements. Be clever but most of all be unique. We expect this anthology will appeal to writers of bizarre, comedy, detective, horror and science science fiction genres.
