Wicked Run Press is currently seeking submissions for the upcoming anthology Garden of Fiends: Tales of Addiction Horror. They want stories that show the dark truths of addiction.

They will be paying $500 per story. Stories should be 16,000 to 25,000 words.

According to the submission guidelines:

“The intoxication from a pint of vodka, the electric buzz from snorting cocaine, the warm embrace from shooting heroin – drinking and drugging provides the height of human experience. It’s the promise of heaven on earth, but the hell that follows is a constant hunger, a cold emptiness. The craving to get high is a yearning not unlike that of any other blood-thirsty monster.

The best way to tell these truths of addiction is through a story, and dark truths such as these need a piece of horror to do them justice.”

The deadline for submission is January 1st, 2017.
