Crystal Lake Publishing is a small press running out of sunny South Africa. We publish horror short story collections and anthologies in both print and eBook. Poetry is also welcome, as long as it touches on aspects of fear, death or horror.

Our goal is to help writers get their work to a wider audience and introduce like-minded writers to one another. It's all about bringing writers and readers together. We pay between $10 and $25 US per story, depending on the length of the stories in that specific anthology. Royalties for short story collections and novellas are set at 45%.

Crystal Lake Publishing is permanently closed to submissions as we work on invites only. Authors, artists and editors are, however, encouraged to submit a biography with links to your work via our email: crystallakepub@gmail.com. If we are impressed with your work, we will contact you when a suitable project comes along.

We are only interested in horror writers at this stage, but will be broadening into fantasy and sci-fi eventually.

Crystal Lake Publishing was founded in August 2012 by South African horror writer Joe Mynhardt.
