CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ✶ Mother Monster / Father Fiend

We’re seeking dark, strange, and genre-blurring work for an upcoming anthology from Elderfly Press exploring the uncanny edges of parenthood—inheritance, identity, transformation, and the myths we build around family.

We’re open to horror, gothic, literary, speculative, poetry, nonfiction, and black-and-white visual art.

If your work leans unsettling, mythic, or emotionally charged—we want to see it.

Deadline: June 15, 2026

As of today, Demons of the Night is now available to read on Kindle! If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can download and read it for free right now at https://amzn.to/31LJfQs!

Sadly, just like everything else these days, my print publisher is running behind at the moment due to COVID-19. Even though the print edition was scheduled to release today as well, it is still sitting in review status. :( Hopefully it will be made available soon though, and I will post a link here as soon as it's ready for purchase. Thanks all, for your support!
