It’s currently in the market for fiction and non-fiction.
Here are details about
fiction submissions – which need to be submitted
by 28 February.
Dirge is looking for
speculative fiction with a dark angle: sci-fi, fantasy, horror, alternate
history and related genres. They
say: ‘While dark fantasy and horror are the safest bets, we're interested in
any narrative which contains elements of the surreal, or disturbing. We like to
feel unsettled after reading your story, whatever it's about.
‘What
we're interested in:
Creep (Writing fiction that makes people uncomfortable? We want to see it.).
Fresh takes on old tales. Non-Lovecraftian cosmic horror (think Jeff
Vandermeer's Southern Reach trilogy). Dark fantasy, and experimental horror.
Kick us in the feels.
‘What
we're less interested in: Zombies (Zzzz.).
Supernatural romance, probably supernatural anything unless it's genuinely
unsettling. Fanfic. We don't have anything against gore, but your story should
have a lot more going for it than that. We don't have a problem with sex,
either, but we aren't an erotica market.’
Story-length: 2,000-4,000 words. Flash fiction also welcome.
Payment: Rates range from $50-$150, agreed on acceptance.
Simultaneous
Submissions: Yes, but let
them know, and be sure to tell them if your submission gets placed elsewhere!
NOTE:
Limited to one submission per author. [Please resubmit only if requested.]
Reprints: No.
Good
luck!
