Somewhere South of Hell: An Anthology of Southern Horror

As some of you may or may not know, I am currently in the process of editing an anthology of Southern horror tales for Full Moon Press. This collection will be titled Somewhere South of Hell and should see publication sometime in mid-2010.


Somewhere South of Hell will feature the best writers of horror and dark suspense from the South (or with strong ties to Dixie). So far the response I've recieved from interested contributors has been right encouraging. Here is a list of who I have on board so far:

Joe R. Lansdale

Brian Keene

Alan M. Clark

Alex McVey

James Newman

Deborah LeBlanc

Scott Nicholson

Bryan Smith

Elizabeth Massie

Stephen Mark Rainey

Bev Vincent

Nate Southard

Jason Brannon

John Hornor Jacobs

Mari Adkins

Joan Turner

Randy Fox

Mark Justice

Donn Gash

Ronald Kelly

Alan M. Clark and Alex McVey will be providing the artwork for this volume, and Alan will also be providing a story for the collection. At the present time, Somewhere South of Hell is closed to outside submissions, but that may change in the summer of 2009 as we grow nearer to the deadline of October 31st. I still need stories from writers originating from Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida.

My goal with this anthology is to compile the very best collection of Southern-Fried horror to see print in years. With the dark talent that I have assembled above, I think we have an excellent chance of doing just that. Keep your eyes open for updates on SSOH in the coming months!
