Other Terrors Anthology Announces Line-Up

It’s been a long road, but the day is finally upon us. After many months of reading and re-reading member submissions and editorial deliberations for the HWA’s upcoming OTHER TERRORS: AN INCLUSIVE ANTHOLOGY project, we are pleased to make this final, exciting announcement.

We are thrilled to announce that although we were slated to select five-member submissions, we worked hard to open up space for ten, doubling the presence of HWA members in our TOC. 22 short stories, 2 poems, 15 female contributors, 9 male—each bringing a unique perspective to this universal theme of “otherness” from the diversity of their backgrounds and experiences.

Without further delay, we are happy to announce that the following HWA members will be included in OTHER TERRORS:

• Holly Walrath with “The Asylum”
• Denise Dumars with “Scrape”
• Annie Neugebauer with “Churn the Unturning Tide”
• Nathan Carson with “Help, I’m a Cop”
• M.E. Bronstein with “The Voice of Nightingales”
• Shanna Heath with “Miss Infection USA”
• Michael Hanson with “Night Shopper”
• Jonathan Lees with “It Comes in Waves”
• Maxwell Gold with “Black Screams, Yellow Stars”
• Hailey Piper with “The Turning”

These exceptional stories from our HWA members will join previously announced esteemed contributors:

• Tananarive Due with “Incident at Bear Creek Lodge”
• S.A. Cosby with “What Blood Hath Wrought”
• Alma Katsu with “Waste Not”
• Stephen Graham Jones with “Tiddlywinks”
• Jennifer McMahon with “Idiot Girls”
• Michael Thomas Ford with “Where the Lovelight Gleams”
• Ann Dávila Cardinal with “Invasive Species”

Rounding out this outstanding TOC, the following talented authors will also be joining the OTHER TERRORS lineup:

• Usman Malik with “Mud Flappers”
• Gabino Iglesias with “There’s Always Something in the Woods”
• Eugen Bacon with “The Devil Don’t Come with Horns”
• Larissa Glasser with “Kalkriese”
• Tracy Cross with “All Not Ready”
• Linda D. Addison with her poem “Illusions of the De-Evolved”
• Christina Sng with her poem “Other Fears”

Heartfelt congratulations to all those whose stories made the TOC, and our sincerest thanks to the HWA membership for making those decisions so difficult. We deeply appreciate your patience as we worked through the long process of bringing this anthology together.

OTHER TERRORS: AN INCLUSIVE ANTHOLOGY will be published on 7-19-22 by Mariner Books (an imprint of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). More from the publisher here: https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/books/other-terrors/9780358658894
