Submitting books for possible review

If you have a soon-to-be-published book that you’d like to have considered for review on Cemetery Dance Online, you’re on the right page.

(This page is only for books that are already being published that you want us to consider reviewing here on Cemetery Dance Online. This is NOT how you submit manuscripts for publication consideration. )

To have your book considered for review, please contact [email protected] for more information.

Materials cannot be returned and we cannot confirm receipt due to the overwhelming amount of material we receive.

We receive hundreds of review copies every month, and although the editors wish we could review them all, we have a very limited number of slots.

Grave Tales comic guidelines: Authors and Artists

Grave Tales
Editor: Richard Chizmar

Grave Tales is a horror anthology comic book presented by the World Fantasy Award-winning publisher Cemetery Dance Publications. Previous contributors include Edward Lee, Richard Laymon, Al Sarrantonio, Nancy Collins, Thomas F. Monteleone, Joe Hill, and others. As always, it is strongly suggested you read a copy of Grave Tales first to get a feel for the publication.

Author Submissions:
We are currently closed to fiction submissions.

Artist Submissions:
We are looking for artwork in the tradition of Warren’s Creepy and Eerie, Marvel and DC anthologies like The Witching Hour and Ghosts, and the EC’s legendary Tales From the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. Think the retro look of Bernie Wrightson or Mike Ploog. No manga or other modern styles. We solicit all our cover and interior artwork directly. Query first with samples.
