ARCHER PUBLISHING is seeking short stories and novellas for its thriller anthology, Back Alley: Tales of Suspense (2024). We want stories to be well-written, fast paced, topical, progressive, thematic, and very entertaining. Can include straight-up suspense, thriller, noir, neo-noir, or dark fiction. Can include serial killers, rough neighborhoods, sleek exteriors for grizzly backdrops, gun molls, femme fatales, gangsters, gangstas, wet streets, foggy nights, boardroom shenanigans, double-crosses, nail-biters, edge-of-your-seat tales etc., so long as the story is gritty, imaginative and well-executed. Think Memento, Gone Girl, Man on a Ledge, D.O.A., The Big Clock, Laura, The Lady from Shanghai, or Out of Time. Push boundaries of imagination. Your tale should be juicy, unputdownable, and should shock, gall, astonish, provoke and, most of all, entertain.

Stories should include diversity (think outside the box!). This means any race, nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, class, etc. is fair game. An inclusive story is an accessible story.
