“Shadow People and Cursed Objects” Update

It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned our Shadow People and Cursed Objects Anthology. I’ve had some inquiries from those who’ve made submissions. I figured it was worth creating an update post to let people know where the process sits:

1. Submissions closed July 31, 2015.
2. The response was overwhelming. Literally. I had initially hoped to respond to all stories within four weeks of their submissions. I simply couldn’t keep up. I’ve got most of August submissions left to still read through. Which is in the neighborhood of 200+ stories.
3. I am aiming to have all stories read by the end of August however. (This may be wishful thinking, but I need to try and stick to this goal in order to try and get the book out by the end of September, the first of October.)
4. If I’ve already indicated that I liked your story but wanted to hold it until I read all submissions, refer to #3 above. I will give you a final answer as soon as I finish reading all the stories.

If you have submitted and have any other questions that aren’t addressed here, please feel free to get in touch using the form on the Contact Us page. Just keep in mind answering emails cuts into my reading time and, no, I can not be bribed.

Courtney Mroch

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
