Well, after the success of After the Burn: A Post-Apocalyptic Anthology, which was published by Rogue Owl Press, I submitted another story for an anthology of creepy stories set against the backdrop of the sea. My story, "The Keepers of Deerback Isle", was accepted and will be published alongside some amazing stories by some equally amazing authors and I'm really stoked to be a part of this project. Here's a description of the book:
The sea roils. The siren calls. The kraken awakens. Will you join the voyage into the unknown?
In the murky depths lurk the strangest, most frightening creatures, things that thrive in the dangerous waters of the night. From wandering ghost ships to murderous mermaids to the horrifying kraken, the ocean is rife with dark legends that enthrall and fascinate us to this day. Prepare to be taken under by an incomparable group of writers who have crafted a collection of unforgettable seafaring tales. Together, they explore deep into the mysterious aquatic realm, bringing back to the surface tales of terror, intrigue, adventure, and suspense.
Spanning numerous styles and genres, the stories in this volume will leave readers breathless and yet eager to continue onward to distant shores.
Keep an eye on this space, and I will post more publication news as I receive it. - Joe Launch Date: 04/25/23 Kickstarter Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/franklinard/horrors-of-the-deep-an-anthology-of-startling-sea-stories
