Denver, Colorado—Denver Horror Collective (DHC) announces their newest publication, an anthology of horror stories set in the Southwest, Frontiers of Fright: A Southwestern Horror Anthology, showcasing a diverse selection of emerging and established authors from around the world. The book is set to launch on Thursday, October 31, 2024, in both e-book and print format and will be available through Amazon.
Frontiers of Fright, edited by DHC Steering Committee Member and Horror Writers Association, Colorado, co-chair, A.E. Santana, features a variety of eerie and bizarre stories that move away from traditional Hollywood shoot ’em ups and range from hair-raising stories from when the West was young to modern tales of terror.
“Frontiers of Fright is a true campfire horror. That howl is more than the wind and the devil not just in the dust. This is a great collection of creepy tall tales for the change of seasons.” — V. Castro, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Goddess of Filth and The Haunting of Alejandra
“Newcomers and veteran authors come together in Frontiers of Fright: A Weird Western Anthology, edited by A.E. Santana. Weaving tales of outlaws, gunslingers, and more with dark, mysterious twists, I marveled at the imagination and got lost in the Southwestern settings and characters, all of it under a big, endless, ever watching sky.” — John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart
“Wonderfully creepy! These unsettling tales set in the iconic southwest throughout history feature a fascinating range of ferocious creatures—exactly the types of stories I love. You’ll find nightmarish visions haunting these pages in scenes spanning the vast desert, looming wilderness and supernatural unknown.” — KC Grifant, author of Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger and Shrouded Horror: Tales of the Uncanny
“Frontiers of Fright assembles eighteen tales that examine the brutality and beauty of the Southwest. These barren landscapes, cavernous mines, and craggy mountains house heroes, villains, and creatures both new and ancient. Threaded throughout is a ravenous hunger demanding to feast until only sun-bleached bones remain.” — Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot

Have you written something and want to hear what other writers think about it? Are you curious about how a critique group works? Would you like to be published professionally?
DHC runs three critique groups: an in-person short fiction critique, a Zoom short fiction critique, and a Zoom novel critique. The critiques are informal and friendly, with an emphasis on constructive criticism. While the critiques are open to all skill levels, the goal is eventual publication. Genres are horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.
Come join our next Zoom session at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, and meet the folks from both the short fiction and novel critiques. Get a sense of how critiques can help improve your writing. Learn how the DHC community of writers can help you grow! Join our horror community today by emailing submissions [at] denverhorror [dot] com!
