Torn Realities Anthology A project of Post Mortem Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Torn Realities is searching for stories about the places where reality is thin and easily torn, where things we accept as part of everyday life (science, religion, What Lies Beyond) become myths, and where the world is not the most important thing going. Selected stories will concern themselves with what happens to the people who find these places, for pure and impure reasons, and discover whatever lies on the other side. We want stories that will leave us unable to turn out the lights and fearful of looking up into the night sky. To quote fantasy writer Catherynne Valente, we want stories of unvarnished awesomeness. We want stories of the darkly fantastical and how the characters involved deal with the impossible circumstances they find themselves in. We want stories that push the boundaries of accepted reality and how ordinary people deal with extraordinary, mind-bending situations of horror.
