Ghost Orchid Press
Description
We believe that the novella is a fantastic length for horror fiction. We’re looking for fast-paced, thrilling stories that grab our attention and make us want to devour the whole book in one sitting. Clean writing, a strong plot and engaging characters are a must. We will consider any sub-genre as long as your book is aimed at adults and can be considered broadly horror. Speculative (eg. sci-fi and fantasy) elements are fine, but we are NOT looking for hard sci-fi or high fantasy.
