Sirens Call Publications is pleased to announce the release of its newest anthology…
Have you ever walked over a grate in a sidewalk or passed by a manhole cover slightly ajar only to find the small hairs on your arm starting to rise, or terror washing over you at what may lurk unseen?
The twelve tales in this anthology explore urban horrors waiting just below our feet… Whether it’s the story of four boys who go searching for an urban legend only to come face to face with something far more sinister, or a man who watches those who dwell below under the cover of darkness while secretly coveting their subterranean existence, or tales of persons gone missing who disappear into the depths never to be seen again, there’s something in this collection to keep even the most staunch explorer above ground for a long time.
What Dwells Below will haunt your imagination with the unseen long after you have finished reading it!

L. E. White
Newlyweds Diane and Jacob have just bought their first house. Excited to be homeowners, the couple enthusiastically christen their new dwelling – but is that all they are doing? Or are they arousing the dormant needs of something else that resides there as well? Something sexual…
While unpacking, the two start noticing odd things happening. After exploring the basement thoroughly, they discover a Valentine’s Day memento left behind by a former owner. The strange and unusual events they’d been experiencing begin to escalate to frightening encounters.
In an attempt to cleanse their new home, Diane enlists the help of a friend and former lover to try and eliminate this entity. Things take a turn for the worst when the spirit inhabiting the house takes over Diane’s body and has a sexual encounter with Jacob.
Will the young couple be able to cleanse not only their home but their lives of this voracious being, or will their relationship crumble under the pressure of a sexually deviant phantom?

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
For this anthology, we’re looking for stories that embody the spirit of the good ol’ newspaper headline! In fact, your story title MUST BE the headline.
We want feature pieces that belong on the front page; stories that draw you in and take hold of you as they unfold while the ink is still drying.
The work should exemplify the flashy style that only hot-off-the-press journalistic prose can entail. And if you want to go full-on tabloid, have at it. Give us the trash, give us the dirty laundry, but most of all, give us the juicy bits.
Remember, this is a horror collection, so be sure to keep one thing in mind: If it bleeds, it leads!
New Deadline: November 30, 2017
Word Count: 2,500 – 5,000 words
All submissions MUST be submitted to: Submissions@SirensCallPublications.com
Reading & Evaluation Period: Two to three months after close of the extended deadline

Payment: Each story selected for inclusion will receive a one-time payment of $15USD, an eBook contributor copy, and the right to purchase an unlimited number of print books at discount.
As per our standard guidelines, there will be no stories containing pedophilia, bestiality, or graphic rape scenarios accepted. For a full list of our guidelines, please visit our website www.SirensCallPublications.com.
