If your New Year’s resolution has anything to do with your dark fiction writing, may we suggest you creep into 2025 by renewing your Denver Horror Collective membership?

A reminder here (and below) of all the perks you get, while knowing you’re supporting one of the last truly open and inclusive spaces for indie horror writers of all experience and publication history from around Colorado, the U.S., and even the world.

Not enough for you? How about this: FREE marketing and promotion of your member page along with any work you’ve chosen for our Dark Lit Market (if you haven’t given us the info yet or want to update it, please contact us).

All this for only $20 (cheap!) and you can pay via PayPal, Venmo, or Credit Card at this link.

Okay, those were the sweet, sweet carrots. Now for the thorny stick!

For those wayward ones who haven’t renewed their membership since 2023 and don’t re-up now, we’re going to have to sacrifice your space in our Dark Lit Market to the dark gods to bring back the sun this spring!

And for those even sorrier sinners whose membership has lapsed since 2022, without renewal we’ll be offering up your profile page to even darker gods simply for the pleasure of watching them feast on your tortured soul.

If all the perks, free social media promotion of your name and chosen work isn’t enough for you, how about this?

The Denver Horror Collective website is so high ranking that simply keeping your profile alive will vastly improve online search results for your name, website, and published writings. In fact, DHC is so damn popular we’ve actually had one member ask us to remove their name BECAUSE their profile on our page comes up as the first hit on searches ABOVE her own site (yeah, we’re not sure why that would be a bad thing, either, but it’s proof that we’re telling the truth!)

So, here’s the reminder of what you get for only $20 per year as a Denver Horror Collective Active Member. Just remember that the longer you wait, the angrier—and hungrier—the dark gods become!
