Creature Feature Classics #1
Lycanthropy

Creature Features #1 will launch an anthology series exploring everybody's favourite horror monsters. We're starting off with a classic; the full-moon afflicted lycanthropes.
We're looking for a variety of stories so feel free to go in any direction your brain might wander - tales set in the medieval ages, tales set in a dystopian nuclear fall-out, tales set in a robot-dominated 2050 where werewolves live underground in the sewers and hunt survivors of the robot revolution, almost any sub-genre and time goes.
​
Hard word limits of 3,000-8,000
​
Follow the guidelines found under the 'submissions' page for formatting, content and how-to-submit guidelines. The subject line should read

Compensation: £20 & 3 author copies

100 Word Horror:
Monthly Drabble Competition
100 Word Horror
Can you terrify us in precisely one hundred words?
​
Snake Bite Books is running a monthly drabble competition. On the first of every month, we send out our email newsletter. The newsletter contains a short spooky prompt for all of our amazing subscribers who wish to enter.
​
You have the month to write a one hundred word story inspired by the prompt - you'll have to make sure every word counts!
Once the month ends and the next prompt goes out, we select four winners from the entires. Once a week we will announce a winner, and release their drabble as a scary reel on our instagram, as well as featuring the four writers and their drabbles in the following month's newsletter.
​
If you wish to enter, subscribe to our newsletter (form at the bottom of the webpage) and prepare your typewriters for next month's prompt announcement!
Good luck!
