Songs for the Raven

sftr-frontJames Ward Kirk Fiction Presents

Songs for the Raven

Publishe: April 3, 2013

The anthology will approach the human condition through horror from a literary standpoint. I’m looking for “horror literature.” Dictionary.com defines the human condition as “the positive and negative aspects of existence as a human being, esp. the inevitable events such as birth, childhood, adolescence, love, sex, reproduction, aging, and death” In other words, “The Human Condition” is about the fundamental issues of human existence. One of literature’s central concerns is to comment on these issues.

Payment is one contributor copy for short stories of at least 2000 words. To earn a contributor copy a poet must have five poems selected. Authors that choose to submit fiction less than 2000 words (flash fiction) must have two pieces selected, or a combination of flash fiction with a poem and/or art. For artists, at least three pieces must be selected to earn a contributor copy. Contributor copies will be sent about 65 days after publication. You can expect a ton of exposure. If you have any questions regarding payment, please query at the address below. I will work with contributors–I like happy people.

Short stories up to 5000 words and flash fiction up to 1,999 words. Poets: don’t let me get in your way, but I must have five poems for a contributor copy. Horror art will be included, and three subs are needed to earn a contributor copy. Black and white or grayscale is the best format, unless I can do color–that’s to be decided later.

Murphy Edwards says:

JW Kirk has some interesting things to say and I enjoy his writing. As with most of my own works, it explores the dark elements of fiction that make horror edgy and tense. Great insight into the man and his work.
Murph


James Kirk has the ability to tap into the dark side of the human psyche in ways I couldn't possibly duplicate and choose not to examine too closely. It's been a pleasure to witness his growth as an artist.  . --R.J. Sullivan, author of Haunting Blue
