ESCAPE: An Unsettling Reads Horror/Thriller Anthology
Description
Note: limit one submission.
Picture yourself in an old theater. Velvet curtains, plush seats. Ornate sconces line dark walls. The smell of popcorn coated in sticky butter permeates the air. Lights dim, and the screen flickers to life. Film spools onto a spinning reel, and jittery images appear. Monsters and horrors come to life before your very eyes. But, what if they decide they don’t want to stay on the screen? What if their creators are equally as gruesome? What happens when abominations of imagination come to life? Help us discover what lurks in the shadows.
Respect the genre norms from the Horror/Thriller genres (and their associated sub-genres).
