This blog is not going to become a clearing-hub for fiction anthology calls, but — being a Brit interested in local folk-lore — I’ll make an exception for the current call for stories for “The Realm of British Folklore” from Spectre Press in the UK. The submitted stories don’t have to be macabre, it seems, but can’t be twee (think: garden gnomes, twinkly Tinkerbell fairies, merry ponies etc). The deadline is 31st October 2018.

The same publisher also has a call for an anthology to be titled “The Children of Clark Ashton Smith”, seeking stories in the mould of Smith.
