Details: his will be a charity anthology so as such there will be no payment for the stories. All sales from the book will go to the NOH8 campaign, a campaign promoting LGBT rights and freedoms.
Stories: I am looking for general horror stories that feature strong LGBT characters written by LGBT authors. Let me repeat that, I am only accepting stories from authors who identify as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered. Stories should be somewhere between 5 - 8K words shooting for around 100,00K words total for the entire book. Any kind of horror story will be accepted. I would like to have as wide a range of stories as possible, so please be creative.
Deadline: Blood Drenched Rainbows will remain open until the book is filled.
Other: I am also looking for any LGBT artists, formatters and possible editors for the stories that would be willing to donate their time to the book.
GOAL: I would like this book to be, from cover to cover, written and assembled by LGBT's
