You asked for it, and we’re doing it …
Graveside Press’s next themed anthology will be MONSTERS.
| Open for Submissions: | April 1, 2025 through |
| Expected Publication: | February 13, 2026 (Yes, it’s a little ways out, but it’s Friday the 13th and the day before Valentine’s Day. We can’t pass that up!) |
What Are We Looking For?
Monsters! Specifically … people who love monsters.
Like … a lot.
Give us your spicy monster romance stories, but keep in mind this is still horror; we aren’t looking for sweet urban fantasy tales. Your submission should still have a heavy horror factor.
Submissions Requirements
Your story:
- should be approximately 2,000 – 6,000 words in length.
- contain some kind of monster, creature, or cryptid from folklore, mythology, or your imagination.
- contain some level of spice (all heat ranges accepted).
- any character involved in adult activities must be 18+.
- NO: non-consensual, rape, or other sexual assault

So this page says the submission deadline is April 30, but if I click the link it says it’s May 15. Which is correct?
It has been extended through May 15, 2025.
It looks like it’s now extended to May 31, is that correct? Thanks.
Can the monster appear human and not show its final form until the end of the story? Also its final form is more goddess-like. Does that still count as a monster?
I feel like we might be writing very similar stories, so let’s hope so!
