CRYSTAL LAKE PUBLISHING ANNOUNCES UNSPEAKABLE HORROR 3: DARK RAINBOW RISING ANTHOLOGY
Coming in 2023 and edited by Vince A. Liaguno, this horror anthology will explore the terror growing among the LGBTQIA community as they continue to make great strides forward.
The third volume in the Unspeakable Horror series, Dark Rainbow Rising, builds on the award-winning success of its predecessors. From the Shadows of the Closet, was the first—and still only—expressly LGBTQ anthology to ever be nominated or win the prestigious Bram Stoker Award since the Superior Achievement in an Anthology category was added to the awards in 1998.
When the pendulum of civil rights and social change initiatives swings toward progress, the LGBTQIA community often holds its collective breath in anticipation of the inevitable backlash when the pendulum swings back. Even with these gains, we are constantly looking over our shoulder—waiting for the next shoe to drop, for the next attack on our personhood. The community’s enemies see progress as a perceived danger to their own heteronormative bubbles—and any advancement threatens to burst those fragile bubbles. Even as we hoist the rainbow flag in celebration, a dark rainbow rises on the horizon…
Unspeakable Horror: Dark Rainbow Rising will be released in paperback, hardcover, and eBook during the third quarter of 2023. Submissions will open August 1st 2022. Submission guidelines are on the Crystal Lake Publishing website.
