The story was titled “Silent Scream,” and the anthology SCARY SNIPPETS (cf. September 21). This was to be a “Micro-Horror” collection, seeking horrific short stories that feature the theme of anything creepy for the Halloween season. Ghosts, goblins, any and all horror is accepted. The major constraint, the word count must be 500 words or less.
And so things progress, the contract arriving today from Suicide House Publishing, now signed and sent back. The story in question was just under 500 words itself and is about silence. The virtue of silence. Its desirability. An absolute need for silence . . . or else. Hopefully, if all continues on schedule, to be out by or before Halloween.
