Songs for the Raven

A project of James Ward Kirk Publications (see other related projects).

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

About

The anthology will still approach the human condition through horror from literary standpoint. I’m looking for “horror literature.” Dictionary.com defines the human condition as “the positive and negative aspects of existence as a human being, esp. the inevitable events such as birth, childhood, adolescence, love, sex, reproduction, aging, and death” In other words, “The Human Condition” is about the fundamental issues of human existence. One of literature's central concerns is to comment on these issues.
