Submission policy
Real American Goth
Let’s set aside the silly and tabloid-esque submission calls for something much more serious and grounded. Let’s delve deep into the dark and macabre that Gothic Horror has to offer. Deadman’s Tome is looking for pieces that pay homage to greats such as Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, and Shirley Jackson.
Submission guidelines:
- CLOSED to SUBMISSIONS
Would you consider reprints? Thanks.
Yes
Thanks. I’ll be sending something your way shortly.
are you still looking for submissions?
Always
great
Sounds like an interesting concept.
I have a number of short stories that could possibly be considered horror.. I could send you one to look at if you’d like?
do you mean embedded in the email or send as an attachment
Attached
Do you always reply to submissions? How long does a reply normally take?
I try to always reply. Sometimes things get missed. If you feel like it has been WAY too long, then send me an email.
Thank you for the opportunity. My short story, Hunter’s Moon, has just been sent to your email. Thanks again!
Hi, Mr. Deadman. Just wondering if you received my submission back in December? Never got confirmation. Cheers,
Toneye.
Take that as a no then? Noticing replies to everyone but mine. All good. Cheers for the opportunity to sub.
Hi,
You mention flash fiction but list 4000 word approximate word count.
Are you accepting shorter stories than this? That is, flash fiction?
Cheers
Good question. I should change it to up to 4000 words. Flash fiction is welcomed.
Hi, got a story around 5800. Is it too long?
Send it. I’ll take a look at it
you really are deaf, dumb and blind when you’re willing to take your sources from Encyclopedia Dramatica. Whose your nonfiction editor, Stephen Glass?
Seeing one of my alumni on here; I think he brought what he learned from being in The Ethereal Gazette with him. Mr. Deadman have you looked into Zahid Zaman or Alex Rivera? They would compliment your mag too — check David Wright from 2007 in this publication as you get to see him hold his own with Matthew S. Carroll and introduced Steven Morgan into the publication. You should try to tap this one for a submission. I will say this much of David, he’s the author who’s going to piss this bastard off. You should really had tapped Tom Kelly to do the artwork for this because he did my work justice.
Pick up a copy of TRESPASS by Chris Miller, published with DEADMAN’S TOME. TRESPASS is an absolutely gripping read from the first chapter. It’s perfectly paced to keep the reader engaged. You won’t want to put the book down once you start reading it. Take a bow Mr. Chris Miller; I absolutely loved this book you wrote and DEADMAN’S TOME published. Good work by all parties.
Are you purchasing rights or can we republish elsewhere?
Are new monsters welcome?
Preferred, actually
Do you purchase artwork?
What is the word count for “short story”?
Celebrities as fodder? Oh, man, I gotta get in on this.
