Smitten Land Anthology

A project of Laughing Man House (see other related projects).

About

We are celebrating two years of our religious horror literary magazine with an anthology! There have been so many amazing contributions to our magazine over the years that we want to put as many as possible into one volume, alongside some brand new works, to be feasted upon with gluttony of biblical proportions.
For new works, we want to see your take on corrupt preachers, monstrous angels, cults, devils--and more! Please be at least somewhat familiar with our magazine and our general themes. The digital issue of Televangelism will be made free in our website store for the duration of the submission period for you to check out! We are especially hungry for queer stories.
