~ announcing my horror story collection, ANTHOLOGEE; about titanic psychic beings warring over the human imagination, a detective and a thief thrown together against the forces of hell, lovelorn witches chanting over a fallen emperor, a treasure hunter who lives 176 lives in a single breath, and a ghost hunter livestreaming from her great-grandfather’s tomb.
{Anthologee exists in large part due to the Thresholds of Transformation!}
Coming Soon!
Stats: ~ a short story collection, horror x dark fantasy x weird tales of wit and woe (~93K words)
Title: Anthologee {anthology + apogee, or peak}
Form: Short story collection (x22 + 1 novella) ~ 90K words
Genre: Supernatural Horror x Weird Tales x Dark Fantasy
Target Audience: Adults / for fans of The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Tales from the Crypt, Black Mirror, and the short fiction of King and Barker.
Pitch: *ANTHOLOGEE* is a collection of horror stories about folk fears, supernatural phenoms, and dark transformations.
Premises: An eclipse envelops a battlefield and the minds of its warriors; a wounded soldier wakes up buried under a pile of bodies and makes a wish; a cryptid from the stars arrives before the campfire for a bold appearance; a traveling jester engages a secret living as a prolific highwayman.
A man shadows the god Pan through the forest for a day; a feisty couple squabbles over the daemons invading their anxieties; a SWAT team fights a monster inhabiting the Washington D.C. catacombs; an alienated yet precocious yuppie encounters a cryptid on the subway; a livestreamer becomes a grave robber.
*ANTHOLOGEE* is a tome of imaginative tales delving into the depths of human experience, exploring themes of alienation, ambition, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. With a hint of dark humor and a touch of the surreal, “ANTHOLOGEE” will preternaturally challenge your perceptions, ignite your darkest imagination, and leave you questioning the fabrics of reality.
ANTHOLOGEE is a short story collection of supernal situations and satisfyingly diabolical weirdness. These stories are primarily inspired by the classicks of the art: Weird Tales, The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, King, Barker, Jackson, Tales From The Crypt, Black Mirror, et al.
ANTHOLOGEE is a love letter to my favorite kinds of short fiction: psychosocial odysseys and monster hunts, magick users gone berserk and alternate worlds gone wrong. Through these stories ranging from 2000-8000+ words, you shall discover a wide variety of linguistic tricks, treats, and devilish twists of fate good, bad, and hilariously ugly.
