About

We are seeking writers willing to pen a piece of original fiction for inclusion in the anthology due out in 2012. Further information will be made available to you after this step of querying. What we want to receive is a short example of your work. The sample should be about 5k in length, featuring something gritty, mysterious, darkly humorous, and centered around some sort of interaction with supernatural creatures in the modern day. Please be aware that if you include vampires or werewolves in any way, your portrayal of them should not be overly romantic.
