We wanted to address the rumors circulating about Death’s Head Press shutting down, and CEO Jarod Barbee leaving the company. Both of these rumors are simply rumors. Jarod is redefining his role and responsibilities within DHP to better fit his life, as we better position ourselves to serve our authors and readers. Changes are happening, but they are all exciting and positive changes.

SHORT STORY SUBMISSIONS - HORROR WESTERN

Death’s Head Press is teaming up with Patrick R. McDonough (writer and the producer and host of the Dead Headspace podcast) to present Hot Iron and Cold Blood: An anthology of the Weird West. We’re looking for westerns set in the 19th century with heavy elements of horror in all it’s beautiful and ugly colors. The stories must be anchored into the time period and setting. We’re not looking for stories that feel like they were repurposed for this open call.

We’re looking to fill 2 slots with this open call. We’re interested in hearing from everyone—all walks of life. Don’t hold back with your content, either. Push those limits and let’s see what you come out with in the end!

Anthology projected to be published in the Fall of 2022.

Theme: Horror, dark, gritty, weird, and wild stories set in the old west. Be it in the desert, prairie, or a frozen mountain range, we’re open to see all of your ideas. We want to read about those legendary supernatural lore, otherworldly forces, and everything in between. That’s all you get in this section. We want to see what YOU come up with!

Word Count: 2,500 – 6,000 Words
Open window: April 23rd 2022 at 12:00 AM EST
Deadline: May 15th 2022 at 11:59 PM EST
