Brimstone Press have emerged from hiatus after their move from Australia to New Zealand and have announced the upcoming reading period for three new dark fiction novel lines. They will be holding an open reading for three months from 1 July to 30 September 2013 for the following types of novels:

Brimstone – dark fiction for adults.

Horror, thrillers, and all sub-genres – including psychological, supernatural, apocalyptic, and Lovecraftian. The primary intent of your novel is to inspire fear or suspense in the reader.

Bloodstone – dark romance.

Gothic and paranormal (no blatant porn). The primary intent of your novel is to explore tragic, taboo, and/or ill-fated relationships.

Moonstone – dark fiction for young adults.

Same as the above lines (Brimstone & Bloodstone) but aimed at a younger (teen) audience.

All the submission guidelines can be found here.
