Ta-Daaaa! A New Press!
| 2 images After much planning & preparation, I have news, very big news, for you all!
I’ve decided to finally take the plunge & start my own publishing house… Screaming Spires Publishing!
As you can probably tell, I’m very excited about this, petrified too!
The first publication is in the works already. It’s to be an anthology of dark & brooding horror…we’re bringing old-school horror back!
When Darkness Calls will be a collection of old & new writers, published & unpublished writers. The theme? You just write damn good horror!
The profits of this anthology will be going to a special school here in the UK called Pictor School. They help our special children bloom! Both of my boys have autism & the school has helped us all so much. They have to raise all funding themselves, they receive no government funding. I’m also deciding on a special school in the US to profit too. Autism Awareness will also receive the remaining profits from this book.
Autism needs to be understood. Full stop.
Here’s a sneak peek at the cover art by Daniele Serra, who also created our logo!

Congratulations and the best of luck. Nice cover, too.
Aww, thank you!
Congrats. Love logo and title.
Thanks Emma
It’s still got that slight corny edge that I love
YES! Huge congrats, Emma! So damn exciting…
Great call on the cover artist. Dani Serra is fantastic, as his cover for When Darkness Calls evidences.
Bring back the old school, as the new school needs some more learnin’.
It does indeed!
Daniele was great, all I did was describe the image I had set in my mind…he brought it to life!
Sounds great, Emma. I’m going to have to see if I can come up with something for this.
The guidelines are simple. 2,500-7,000 words, the feel of the story should be dark & brooding. Old school horror, a great creepy tale. No gore-porn!
That’s all I ask Steven, dark & brooding. The rest is all up to you.
OOoooooh, this looks fab!!!!! Love the art.
