The Dark Screams anthology series ran nine volumes between 2014 and 2018, co-edited by Brian James Freeman and Richard Chizmar. Each volume collects original horror fiction from a mix of well-known and up-and-coming writers in the genre. The series became a reliable outlet for short horror fiction during its four-year run.
The anthologies draw from the same pool of talent that Freeman and Chizmar cultivated through their work with Cemetery Dance Publications. The nine volumes provide a broad survey of contemporary horror fiction, with stories ranging from psychological suspense to supernatural terror. The series was published digitally, making it accessible to readers looking for regular doses of new horror.
