4 Horror and Dark Fiction Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts

Horror is an immensely popular genre. (Zombies! Vampires! Werewolves!)

Perhaps, for that reason there are relatively few publishers accepting unagented manuscripts. (Many horror publishers say they are “swamped.”)

The publishers I have listed below accept a variety of formats: short stories, poems, and novels. I have not included digital only publishers, or publishers not currently open for submissions. Nor have I included publishers that offer to “crowdfund” books.

Please read all submission guidelines carefully.

Note: You can find a list of over a hundred publishers accepting manuscripts from authors (no agent needed) here: Publishers Accepting Unagented Manuscripts

Arkham House published its first book, The Outsider and Others by master horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, in 1939. More than seventy years and 200 books later, Lovecraft remains on the center stage. Other writers published by Arkham House include Greg Bear, Michael Bishop, James Blaycock, David Case, August Derleth, John Kessel, Mary Rosenblum and many more.

Submissions: Please submit a synopsis of your manuscript to: PO Box 546, Sauk City, WI 53583. Do not make submissions via email.
