Call for Submissions – Fearrington Road
THIS CALL IS NOW CLOSED.
An anthology of short stories in a Lovecraftian / Steam Punk / Diesel Punk vein. (But stories do not have to contain elements of all three.)
[Wharfedale by Moonlight
John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)]
(Working Cover)
Where is Fearrington Road? It is that road just outside town, the one that leads in a direction travelers rarely take these days.
Submission Period: December 1st, 2018 – June 15th, 2019
submissions@darkhousebooks.com
Please put “Fearrington Road” and the name of your story in the subject line.
Length: 2500 to 6000 words.
Stories outside that range will be considered, but their length will work against inclusion. We admit to a preference for slightly longer work, with four to five thousand words in the sweet spot. We expect the anthology to have approximately seventy-five thousand words.
Payment: Royalty
Fifty percent of the gross royalties per calendar quarter will be distributed equally among the contributors. Contributor copies will not be offered. A limited number of review copies will be available.
