Mark S. Deniz and Amanda Pillar are editing an anthology of contemporary horror tentatively titled Voices for Eneit Press. They're currently looking at a release date in October 2008, and will be reading stories starting 1 December 2007 (they emphasize that submissions arriving earlier than that will not be read).
In Voices, every story will take place in a hotel room. They're looking for modern-day stories, but there "are no guidelines for how the room will look, as this is something that will not be mentioned by place, a hotel that the reader will in fact not see, other than in the selected rooms." They are looking for stories that shock, disturb, and scare the reader, emphasizing psychological and/or supernatural horror stories over hack and slash gore. "Think claustrophobia, think confinement, think hopelessness, think fear," the editors say.
Payment is $20 for stories between 2,000 and 7,000 words, and the reading period will close on 1 April 2008.
