PAY MKT // Dark Faith: The Mo*Con Anthology Guidelines
Towse
PAYS: $0.05/wd On acceptance.
DEADLINE: 01 Nov 2009
"If you�re unfamiliar with Mo*Con, you�ll be operating from an extrem

disadvantage. It�s the annual horror convention, named after myself,
that revolves around discussions of spirituality, writing, and social
issues. Horror, too often, has been thought of as the non-thinking
genre, home of the �monsters in the dark� with little to offer in ter

of depth. Mo*Con defies that image of the genre. Its themes so far have
covered spirituality, race, gender issues, art, and love.
"So what am I looking for? Smart, literate stories that fit in with any
of the themes of Mo*Con. Horror/dark fantasy stories with depth, that
stretch the genre. Stories that make you think, that comment on the
human condition and the social order. Stories that are rich in their
language use. However, a s much as I love social commentary, don�t
forget to entertain me. You should also note that about half of the
anthology has already been filled with solicited pieces."
