About

The Splatterpunk Revolution is alive and well at Grey Matter Press. For our upcoming anthology ‘Splatterlands,’ we are looking for the loudest voices working in the genre of Splatterpunk fiction today. If you consider your work to be “hyperintensive horror without limitation,” then ‘Splatterlands’ may be for you. If you were weaned on fiction from the masters of Splatter, such as Clive Barker, Joe Lansdale, Poppy Z. Brite, Robert McCammon and more, we definitely want to hear from you. As with each of our upcoming anthologies, it isn’t our intention to limit the creativity or our authors by establishing specific themes for each of the collections. Preferring instead to let each writer’s words speak for themselves in an effort to uncover the best and brightest new voices working in the field today. ‘Splatterlands’ is intended to celebrate this creativity, without limitations. If you feel your work can help us bring Splatterpunk back, we want to hear from you.
