VAMPIRE HUNTERS: An Incomplete Record of Personal Accounts:

A collection of found diary/journal entries from vampire hunters through out history. There would also be illustrations, charts, anatomy sketches and pieces of articles texts ect. interspersed throughout.


SUBMISSION WINDOW:

January 15th - February 25th


WORDCOUNT:

1k -- 5k


PAYMENT:

.02 cents a word.



 

WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR:


Diary/Journal Entry type stories from vampire hunters throughout history. These can be based off real people and characters or entirely made up but the history should be more or less sound. Be mindful of copy protected characters and material.


Stories should be formatted like a journal or diary, with a date. There can be one or several telling a story.


We would also prefer a line or two (up to a paragraph) of context that would head each story in the anthology as to why this entry is included in the incomplete record.


For example: Louis Bernard was well known for his trumpet playing all over western Europe, but few were aware he also hunted vampires until he disappeared in 1897. This was the last entry into his journal.
