Death in the Mouth Anthology Series
Description
Limited Demographic: Authors who identify as BIPOC or a marginalized indigenous ethnicity
Weird and unsettling horrors no one has dreamt up before. Eerie manifestations of dread, grief, fear and anxiety. Violent embodiments of mania and displacements of faith. Visceral transgressions of the body and the mind.
If the above sounds too broad, that's on purpose. The limits are few and far between besides the indulgence of and meditation on horror and its adjacent states. We want to see stories written from places of vulnerability and boldness. Push the edges of your comfort zone.

This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
- It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
- The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
- The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
- The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
