I’m proud to announce the opening of ‘Tastes of the darkness.’ This is a blog carnival of horror flash fiction, designed to give readers tastes of what is inside of the dark minds of the horror writers around the blogosphere.
It works pretty simply. Each fortnight, a host blogger will showcase a selection horror flash fiction submitted to him/her during that fortnight.
The post will look roughly like this:
[Blogger's introduction the carnival]
‘Link to story one as posted on writer’s blog,’ Link to writer’s blog – A blurb about the story
[Continue this for all the pieces, maybe adding the host's own commentary as well.]
[Closing comments and a link to the next host's blog]
The fiction can be anything under 1,000 words and it must be horror.
Leave a comment if you’re interested in being the first editor, or if you’re interested in submitting a piece.
Update: I’ve removed the minimum word count.
It’s an ingenious idea, I love the concept! This sharing stories on various blogs is great.
Interesting concept. Are you considering any type of flash fiction — ie, including previously published works?
Any flash fiction published to someone’s blog within the last fortnight can be included in the carnival.
So, if you want to re-publish a piece, that’s fine.
I’m interested as well. I will post a link to this at my blog in an effort to get more writers.
Keep me informed. I’ll link this site to my blog as well (already got your other blog link up).
I like this idea a lot. How come you made the lower limit 300 words? I’ve seen some great 100 word flash stories.
Great Concept! Will definitely be back to follow!
Thanks Anthony, I’ll return the link at both places.
And I actually will remove the minimum word count. I’ve done 200 word flash pieces myself.
A great idea to build community and share ideas and styles, Benjamin! I would be interested in participating.
