Four Seasons of Hauntings, Volume I

We Want Your Ghostly Tales

Four Seasons Books is putting out the call for your ghostly tales. We are often asked, ‘Do you have a book of Shepherdstown ghost stories?’ and we have been forced to reply, ‘No.’ We intend to change that. This fall, we are collecting submissions for an Anthology of Shepherdstown Ghost Stories. This collection will be a credit to the authors, homage to the magic of Shepherdstown, and a testament to the creativity and skill of our community.

Whatever your age, whatever your skill, this is a chance to spread your writing wings and, perhaps, see your name, your words, on paper in your local bookstore. Be it ghostly, ghastly, haunting, or eerie, this is your story’s time to shine.


Email all questions, curiosities, and submissions to:
4seasons114@gmail.com

Deadline: January 31st


Guidelines:

  • Length: 1,000-8,000 words (exceptions may be made for exceptional stories)
  • Must be prose
  • Must be recognizably located within Shepherdstown
  • Must include some element of haunting, ghostly doings, supernatural occurrence, or inexplicable phenomenon

Of  Note:

  1. Sadly, not all submissions will be included in the final volume. We ask for your understanding in the case that your submission is not selected, and encourage you to submit again later on for the next volume
  2. No one is perfect, and neither is any piece of writing, so we warn that all submissions may be edited, formatted, or slightly altered in the process of incorporating them into the Anthology
