This year, I’m particularly looking for the stories that you typically cannot easily find a home for but that are, nevertheless, good stories. We’ve published a fair number of these in the past and I’d like to showcase them. Typically, these are stories that are either too long or plot driven for the average market or that are more melancholy than horrific—either strong voice, strong plot, or unusual concept. To go with these, I’m also looking for stories in the lesser used styles of the “Lovecraft circle” writers; westerns, dark fantasy, occult detectives, etc. Finally, I’ll be a little more open to what might traditionally be called Lovecraft pastiche just to round things out (although these stories will still need to be self-contained.)
