Taken from September’s Writers’ News, talking about a new and apparently ‘beautifully illustrated’ English/German quarterly (80+ pages) entitled Tales from the Transdimensional Horror Express:

“Unashamedly nostalgic in style and content, Editor Darren Smith describes the title as [being somewhere] ‘between a 1930’s weird fiction pulp and a Victorian periodical. The reader finds themselves on board a phantom express train in the company of an elderly and rather eccentric band of revenant dead travellers all of whom, naturally, have their own weird, macabre and chilling tales to tell…’
The magazine is open for stories for a werewolf special issue, to be published in October, while later issues will focus on Egyptian mummies, voodoo, Frankenstein’s legacy, Edgar Allen Poe, Jekyll & Hyde and the worlds of HP Lovecraft. All submissions must be in keeping with the late Victorian, early 20th Century setting.”

Short stories: 3,500 – 4,000 words, pays 200 Euros
Novellas: 6,000 – 8,000 words, pays 300 Euros
Articles max 1,200 words also required, doesn’t say how much these pay.

The website isn’t complete and doesn’t yet have the submissions details etc available on it, hence this post. What there is so far can be found at http://www.trans-horrorexpress.com and writers can send submissions to
submissions@trans-horrorexpress.com and/or contact the editor at editor@trans-horrorexpress.com

Hope someone out there finds this useful!

Hey, this looks great. I love that whole horror era. I think I might turn my efforts this weekend to coming up with something grizzly...

A werewolf special issue - how jolly! I immediately thought of Surprised Parties, by Ian Salt (Salty) - but it seems they're looking for longer stories. Pity - but perhaps you have other werewolf stories up your furry sleeve, Salty?

Yeah, I thought of that too. Surely they make exceptions for really good stuff?

Of course, it would have to be altered to fit in with the era. Perhaps mail him to let him know about this thread?

OK, I will. Thanks JB
