In Bad Dreams - Volume Two: Where Death Stalks
(An Anthology of Contemporary Horror)
Edited by Mark S. Deniz & Sharyn Lilley


The unnatural sea creature off the coast of Maputo in Mozambique; the blood sucking vampire in Valdivia, Chile; or the disease ridden hag in Bratislava, with her words of poison. Vampire, werewolf, spirit; creatures of the night; the paranormal; abominations or just plain misunderstood.

Some may run to their deathly embrace; others will flee the largest cities, thinking themselves safer in a city with less victims to attract 'their' attentions. All will find it is not safe, there is nowhere to go, for wherever you run, you can be sure 'they' are waiting; watching and waiting...

We want your best urban supernatural stories; we want disturbed original tales from every corner of the globe. We want stories set in the cities least used (from a literary sense). While we won't automatically reject an excellent story based in London, the same story set in Manchester will be more likely to get our attention.

We don't want light and fluffy tales. We don't want clichés. Give us a dark and scary, terrifyingly real world. A world where you need to pinch yourself to make sure you are awake and not actually living In Bad Dreams.

We are looking for original pieces of fiction, not previously published in any format.

Payment: $20 AUD plus a contributor copy

Word length: 2,000 - 5,000 words (longer stories will need to be discussed with us before submitting)

Reading period: begins on 1st October 2007.

Deadline: 1st March 2008. This is not a rolling submission project and so we will inform authors as to whether they are successful or not as soon as possible after this date.

In the body of your e-mail please include your mailing address, contact e-mail address and the word count of your story.
