Songs of the Satyrs Anthology

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: Dark fantasy and horror stories featuring a satyr as a main character or a character that is integral to the plot. Satyrs are mythical creatures from Greek Mythology that are half human, half goat. They follow Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, ritual madness, and ecstasy. They walk the line between the animalistic urges in us and the human capacity for thought. The human vs. the animal. Satyrs embody the two. While I am mostly seeking horror stories, such as Pan’s Labyrinth and Brian Keene’s Dark Hollow, I will also look at fantasy stories set in a fantasy world, as long as they are dark. Satyrs are often characterized by their insatiable hunger for wine, revelry, and sex, so a combination of all three is strongly encouraged, but isn’t necessary. Please feel free to be original with your satyrs, have them do and act however you please, or simply use their physical features as the blueprints for a monster. Mixed genres are also acceptable. This is an R-rated collection, so anything goes.
