WERE-2 Anthology A project of Zombies Need Brains (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (May 2026). We provide the following information as an archive. About It’s the night of the full moon, but there are more than mere werewolves skulking the streets. In WERE-2, we return to the back alleys in the dead of night to discover what other were-creatures might see you as prey. A were-raven? Were-squirrel? Were-octopus? You won’t know until you hear that rustle of feathers next to your ear or smell the brine of the sea in that gust of wind from the window. Writers are asked to give us their most creative were-creature, with only one rule: No werewolves allowed!
