Tim Lieder will soon be reading for a Dybbuk Press anthology tentatively titled She Nailed the Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror. He’s looking for creepy horror stories—1,000-12,000 words long—based on some way on Biblical stories.
He suggests: Retellings of Biblical Stories from the perspective of another character; Kiastic Storytelling; Deconstructionist Commentary akin to Rashi; Biblical stories retold in different literary styles (high adventure, Victorian, Romance, Mystery, etc.); Modern stories told in the Biblical style (Best use Robert Alter’s Art of Biblical Poetry and Art of Biblical Narrative if you want a crash course); and Parodies of Prophets.
The reading period will be the month of December, and payment will be $50 per story, on publication, against any royalties. For more details, including submission address, see this post.
