Frightening Fables Anthology submissions - CLOSED

Thats right! Its over guys. We have had over 100 submissions for this anthology with an average of three versions per fable/fairytale. I had the hard job of going through all of these and finally came up with a selection that will truly thrill and disturb you.

Pre-orders are now open. You can buy this anthology on pre-order for £9.99 with free shipping for 2 weeks from this date. After that a cost of £5 will be added to cover postage and packaging.

Please visit The Book shop at House of Horror www.houseofhorror.org.uk and click the link to buy through paypal. Order quickly though. I only bulk buy once I have a lot of orders as it keeps costs down.

HOH updates PLEASE READ!

House of Horror update: Issue #8 is now up with the new audio room where you can listen to three stories being read aloud. The radio show and the quarterly print issue have now been dropped due to the massive response we are getting in submissions and anthology submissions. Issue #9 Valentine special will be up on the 14th Feb.

Shane will be leaving the post of co-editor at the end of issue 10 and I am very sorry to see him go. Because of this, changes to the submission guidelines will be made and posed everywhere to make sure we don't lose any subs in the transfer. I do have a new editor in mind - he is someone non of you know, and if he accepts the post then I will be introducing him here so you can all get to know him.

I hope that you will along with me wish Shane all the luck with his writing and it has been a blast having him be a part of HOH. I really am sorry to see him go as he has been a huge help with the amount of subs we have been getting of late.

Ruthless is almost here, Shane is working real hard on putting it together, the contracts have gone out and most have already been returned to me. Pre-ordering will be made available very soon.

All books purchased from HOH have now been sent out. Please look out for them and let me know when they arrive. Any problems please dont z-mail me as I don't get on as often as I like now with the back log at HOH. Please instead, email me at horrorhouse.editor@yahoo.com

Payments for the House of Horror Best of 2009 are being made as I write this and will continue throughout the week and the weekend as I need to refill my paypal account.

The Attic will once again be open for longer fiction very soon. I am looking around April time. Stories accepted there will be paid $10

I need more valentine stories for issue #9 special. Issue goes up in 4 days so please send them asap if you have any.

Still looking for books to review and also artwork and photography so please get them in to me.

Frightening Fables and Freaky Fairytales


Original Photography by Linda Manning


What I am looking for is stories such as Hansel and Gretal or Peter and the wolf but with a twist of horror. These stories don't need to have the morals within them at all just think about the horror element while keeping to the original Fable or Fairytale.


Stories from 500 words to no longer than 2000 words. I am looking at having about 30 stories in this book.


Official reading period begins 10th January but you can begin sending in your stories now.
Submission close when filled.


Acceptances/Rejections as I receive submissions.


Please send submissions to horrorhouse.editor@yahoo.com with 'FFFF' and the title of your story in the subject line. Include a short bio of around 100 words and be creative and unique. I don't want a list of your credits, just pick one or two you are most proud of.


Please paste your stories into the body of an email, single spaced, no indents and a hard return after paragraphs. Please indicate scene breaks with three stars with two spaces between each star * * *


Payment is $5 per story.


I am looking for ONE poem to open the anthology which will be paid $3. Please do not title your poem as if accepted it will be titled the same as th anthology.


Ok guys, have fun writing, I know you will!!
