take place entirely in the narrator's head.
Deathlings.com wants dark fiction that does not
rely on excessive gore (grossing us out instead of
scaring us, or making us think,) gratuitous sex (note the
word "gratuitous"--sexual scenes that are
integral to the characters and/or plot are fine.) So what
do we want exactly? Stories drenched in atmosphere where
the setting plays an integral role. Stories that are
character, not plot-driven. Any descriptions of the
characters should be so vivid that we could pick one of
your characters up at the airport if we had to. Please
avoid stream-of-consciousness, all the action takes place
in the narrator's head-type stories. Eyeball your
paragraphs--if you have whole pages without dialogue,
your story is not for us. No present tense. Surprise us
-- we don't want to be able to guess what's going to
happen after the first few pages.
