Metrics: The Money Trap Anthology of Thematic Fiction

A project of CultureCult Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (June 2025). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

CultureCult Press warmly invites writers from all walks of life to send in their short fiction for our upcoming anthology, Metrics: The Money Trap—a bold exploration of how money, metrics and the constant need to “add up” can quietly shape, distort or even shatter modern life.

We’re looking for honest, strange, genre-bending stories that examine how systems of economic metrics entrap individuals, corrode societies and redefines reality itself. Whether speculative, surreal, realist, horrific, satirical, or philosophical—bring us tales where earning becomes obsession, value becomes control and money becomes a mythical God manifested off barterial convenience.
