Winter 2008
I co-edit the multi-award winning anthology series The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror (St. Martin's Press) with Kelly Link & Gavin Grant. We are now reading for the 22nd volume, which will include all material published in 2008.
I am looking for stories from all branches of horror: from the traditional-supernatural to the borderline, including high-tech sf horror, supernatural stories, psychological horror, dark thrillers, or anything else that might qualify. If in doubt, send it. This is a reprint anthology so I am only reading material published in or about to be published in 2008. Submission deadline for stories is December 15th 2008. Anything sent after this deadline will reach me too late. If a magazine, anthology, or collection you’re in or you edit is coming out by December 31st, you can send me galleys or manuscripts so that I can judge the stories in time. No email submissions. I strongly suggest that authors check with their publishers that they are sending review copies out to me as I don’t have time or energy to nag publishers to get me material. I request it once (maybe twice) and that’s it.
There are summations of "the year in horror," and "the year in fantasy" in the front of each volume. These include novels, nonfiction, art books, and in my section, "odds and ends"-- material that doesn't fit anywhere else but that I feel might interest the horror reader. But I have to be aware of this material in order to mention it. The deadline for this section is January 30th, 2009.

Kelly & Gavin cover fantasy and I cover horror. If you consider something both, send a copy to each of us. We do not confer on our choices.
****I do not want to receive manuscripts from authors of stories from venues that it’s likely I already receive regularly (like Interzone, The Third Alternative, Cemetery Dance, Subterranean, Postscripts, Weird Tales, F&SF, etc) or from anthologies and collections, unless I don't have or can’t get that anthology or collection. What I would prefer is if you contact your publisher and ask him/her to send me the magazine or book.
Please do not send a SASE. If I choose a story you will be informed. If you want to confirm that I‘ve received something, enclose a self-addressed-stamped postcard and I will let you know the date it arrived. For stories that appear on the web, please send me (or have the publisher send me) print-outs of your story.

I let people send in things till January 15th and ending up with about three new original anthologies that came out earlier in the year--in that last week. This will NOT happen again.

This year will be better for DRP with our new schedule. Won't have to wait so long for everything to be complete.
Best of luck with all your reading. Your sheer stamina impresses the hell out of me.

I've got to clean up before I leave for London or my house/catsitter will be tripping over everything.

Still haven't cracked Inferno, btw. My office called, and I had to go in for a good portion of the day because everyone else in my department went AWOL. Here's hoping that tomorrow is better.

2) I've been collecting my online publications and sending them in hard copy all at once, around Thanksgiving. Would it make your life easier if I did two batches (one mid-year, one Thanksgiving)?
And thanks for your hard work. I think I'd explode.

I'd prefer the online publication to send me hard copies of everything rather than receive each story from their authors...You can query me before you send me your own stories to ask if the publication (online or not) has already sent them material to me, but yes twice a year is better than all at the end :-)
I am!!!

Are you receiving copies of the new PDF horror webzine, Noctem Aeternus, or should those of us with stories there send them to you separately?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I'd prefer hard copies in any case--you might first ask the publishers if they're going to send me printouts--if they say no, then yes, please.

thanks
Considering I've only had 3 stories published it was quite a gift.
