Black Beacon Book of Horror Anthology Series
Description
Oh, the horror! But what kind of horror do we want?
We want your very best horror stories in keeping with the themes and styles that make Black Beacon Books stand out from the pack. If you don't know what that means, you probably haven't read any of our previous titles...we strongly suggest you do so. In short, our passion is for great plots, evocative settings, suspense and atmosphere, and clever twists. We want that creeping feeling of unease that grows to a spine-chilling climax. In terms of horror subgenres, these are what are most likely to tickle our fancies:
- Folk Horror (Black Beacon Books is based in Brittany and your editor loves all things Celtic and mystical, so folk horror from all around the world is likely to attract his attention)
- Psychological Horror (We are the monsters)
- Gothic Horror (Can you channel Shelley, Poe, Stoker, Gaskell or Le Fanu?)
- Weird Fiction / Lovecraftian (But it had better be original)
- Post-Apocalyptic (Make us fear the future)
