Raw Dog Screaming Press Retrospective
I wholeheartedly endorse Raw Dog Screaming Press, and not just because they throw good parties at conventions. They’re a small publishing company based right here in Maryland. They’re dedicated exclusively to bizarre and weird literature, and they’ve published some of my favorite horror-related books of recent years, including 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories by Michael A. Arnzen. They’ve even expanded into non-fiction under their Guide Dog Books imprint, and published the indispensable Horror Isn’t a 4-Letter Word: Essays on Writing & Appreciating the Genre by MicroHorror contributor Matthew Warner.
RDSP has been around since 2003, which is frankly an eternity in the small press industry, and they’re running a special Retrospective event to celebrate their longevity with sales, interviews and writing contests! For August, they want three stories of 1000 words or shorter, so if you dig MicroHorror, this is right up your alley.
Read the PDF press release for more information and an idea of what else they have in store as Retrospective continues throughout the year. Take my word for it: this is a publisher worth watching.
Thanks for the info Nathan.
Raw Dog Screaming is indeed a good outfit that publishes good books, and not all of these fall into the bizarre/horror category. Lately they’ve been doing more and more literary fiction, like Eric Miles Williamson’s ‘Welcome to Oakland’ and my “Conrad in Beverly Hills’ (pub date, Sept 10).
Hey Nathan,
Thanks for the info. Sounds interesting. I’ve been so busy writing, finishing a novel and some more stories. Hey, since I have your attention. Are you going to Stoker Weekend next June in Uniondale, NY?
NY is pretty far afield, but if Stoker Weekend (or any convention) wants to book me, I’ll be thrilled to appear.
