Alter Press See other projects related to this listing. This project is believed to be defunct. (August 2014) About Alter Press is looking for novels that fall under the Horror / Apocalyptic / Dark Fantasy genres or any derivative thereof. We are not looking for Romance novels, Westerns, Noir, Mystery etc. unless they contain elements of Horror / Apocalypse / Dark Fantasy. The tone of the novel, however, is up in the air. Do you have a 3-Stooges-esque Vampire tale? Or maybe a dark, gory werewolf novel? Any tone is welcome, again, as long as it falls under the above mentioned genres. Surprise us, show us something new. Zombies have been done to death and vampire books lack a pulse (puns intended) but if you have a new spin on the theme or think yours is something new and exciting, we would love to give it a look.
