Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

Capitol Horror Anthologies is our curated series of standalone fiction collections, each built around a single theme, a single obsession, a single dark corridor worth exploring at length. Where The Bleeding Margin casts a wide net across the horror landscape, our anthologies go deep. One subject. One world. The best writers we can find willing to live inside it with us.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 10% of anthologies always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $5 (average for anthologies that charge).

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
