The H. P. Lovecraft Project: A Classic Horror Anthology call-for-stories makes a refreshing change from reading anthology-calls that say things like… “oh, and /yawn/ we’re so tired of New England and traditional Lovecraftian horror settings, so please don’t send any”…

“In this case, story style does matter. Your style must resemble the style of the classic horror stories of the 19th and early 20th century. Classic examples of this genre are H. P. Lovecraft, of course, but also Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, H. G. Wells, etc. (Lesser known authors of this style would include Gertrude Atherton, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, M. R. James, etc.)”

Deadline: 1st March 2011. 5,000 word limit.
