Raw Blood and Nerve A project of Dickinson Publishing Group Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months. About What kind of stories do we publish?The first anthology we published had stories about: a man who kills himself so his family gets his life insurance payout; a woman hallucinating (or maybe actually seeing) the rat manifestations of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph; an over-industrialized town in which people cannot die until a new priest is appointed to the village church; a several-thousands-year-old horse transporting a boy back in time to see the horse’s many bloody murders; all the petroleum products in the world disintegrating all at once, bringing about civilizational collapse; a young bible salesman discovering a woman presumed to have been killed during the Puritan era, still alive and more enthusiastic about selling bibles than him; and, a girl who binds her corsets so tight that all her children are deformed (which is fine by her, because she rents them out to a traveling circus).If your story falls anywhere in there, this is the place for you.One last thing. If you’re submitting a werewolf, vampire, or zombie story, it’d better be weird. Like, a coyote slowly turning into an old human man and going insane once he realizes he can’t go back to the wild. Or a vampire that tries to kill herself by drinking gasoline, only to discover she has evolved the same physiological need for petrol she once had for blood. WEIRD.
