I am following the creation of the documentary Michael is involved in! It looks great.
Here is his bio:

Poisoned Soup for the Macabre, Depraved and Insane: Nostalgic Terrors
What We Are Seeking
A pinch of poetry, a dash of drabbles, a frisson of flash fiction… mix well together in a cauldron
of nostalgia and what do you get?
A recipe that's dastardly, delectable, and pure poison.
Welcome to Poisoned Soup for the Macabre, Depraved and Insane, an anthology like no other
designed to inspire, soothe, and satisfy the dark hearts of Horror lovers everywhere.
The genre stirs a sense of nostalgia for us all, through vintage television hits like Tales from the
Crypt and Elvira’s Movie Macabre, to famed comics such as Adventures into Terror and Weird
Tales.
Give us your nightmares, your childhood frights, your sleepaway camp mysteries. Tell us
how Clive Barker tricked you into a ride on The Midnight Meat Train or which episode of Are
You Afraid of the Dark? made you sleep with the light on. When you stare into the shadows,
what do you see? What whispers and caresses your ears with shadowy tendrils? Where does your
mind go as you conjure unimaginable apparitions just beyond your reach?
Submission Hints
We want to know… when did Horror take root for you?
Poisoned Soup for the Macabre, Depraved, and Insane: Nostalgic Terrors is a collection of
original fiction, poems, and essays where new and seasoned horror writers recount their
first experiences with the genre.
A mix of terror, inspiration, comfort, and reassurance, this
anthology offers a powerful experience for those who seek to create and consume stories that
transcend the page.

What happened on the way from the castle to the hospital in Buda-Pesth? What happens after the story ends? What is his relationship with his son? Jonathan is often perceived and portrayed as impish and weak, but he might just be one of the bravest characters in the book.
Since its initial publication in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has inspired countless authors to pick up the pen and re-imagine his characters in prequels, sequels, alternate settings, and more.
DBS Press is dedicated to continuing this tradition.
Our flagship journal, Dracula Beyond Stoker, will present the best new fiction based on Stoker’s characters, locations and themes, and sometimes Stoker, himself.
Join us as we celebrate the legacy of a legend.

Description
Why the name Chestnut Review?
The chestnut blight that wiped out 4 billion (billion!) trees in North America in the early years of the last century didn’t kill the stumps. So when those trees were cut down, in many places the stumps still send up young shoots over and over, and when they get old enough, the blight hits them and they die. And yet they send up another. And another. Sustaining a creative practice requires that level of tenacity. Artists persist despite rejection, the intrusions of real life, the bills that must be paid, the jobs that must be done before any art can be created–that’s the best kind of stubbornness. A stubborn belief in your own worth, in the art of your hands, eyes, and mind.
We are here for you, our stubborn creators. Welcome.

Description
Electric Spec has been around for over 11 years, don’t use slush readers, and pride themselves on giving every story they publish a good edit. They define themselves as: “Electric Spec is a not-for-profit speculative fiction magazine published four times per year. Our primary goal is getting great speculative fiction into the hands (or screens) of readers. Since 2005, we've been publishing short stories from authors all over the world. We've worked with all kinds of authors, from published professionals to new writers. We also believe in the value of the editorial process, and we edit every story we publish.”
Submission Hints
A note on our editorial policy: before publication we may work with the author to edit the story for length or readability. However, we always remain true to the spirit of the story and the author has final approval. We consider any story between 250 and 7000 words with speculative fiction elements. We prefer science fiction, fantasy, and the macabre, but we’re willing to push the limits of traditional forms of these genres. We do not consider poetry, stories with over-the-top sex or violence, serials, novels, fan fiction, or non-fiction. We don’t accept multiple submissions; in other words, only submit one story at a time and wait for a response before submitting another. We accept simultaneous submissions as long as you let us know up front and tell us as soon as it’s accepted elsewhere. We do not publish reprints, including anything that has appeared on a website.
Sample Rejection
I’ve sent six stories to this publication and one was held for consideration but ultimately rejected. My responses took around four weeks.

FIRST ISSUE SLATED FOR APRIL
Description
Cozy horror. Fun horror. Classy horror. Dare we say, wholesome horror?
Oxymoron? We don’t think so. One place you can start your exploration of this idea is an article from Nightmare Magazine penned by one of our co-founders.
But perhaps the easiest way to understand what we mean is to read stories by some of the old masters we love: Ray Bradbury, Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Roald Dahl. Watch classic episodes of Thriller, The Twilight Zone, and Night Gallery. Read old horror comics. Listen to radio dramas like Suspense, Quiet, Please, and Inner Sanctum Mysteries. Consume enough vintage horror, and you’ll probably begin to get an idea of the type of thing that’s likely to appeal to us.
In short, we’re looking to provide a space for a type of storytelling that has largely gone out of style – dark and scary, but playful and approachable with an emphasis on plot. To clarify further, here’s a list of things we want and things we don’t, which may help you hit the sweet spot.
Submission Hints
THINGS WE LOVE:
Stories with a moral core. It need not happen in every tale, but we like to see good prevail (or at least evil punished). Ironic justice, in which cleverly nasty things happen to bad people, as in old EC comics, makes us chuckle with ghoulish delight.
Well-earned twist endings. There’s nothing we love more than a really good surprise or a clever way to subvert our expectations. Pull the rug out from under us and leave us gasping.
High concept settings and situations reminiscent of the pulps. Androids, ghosts, aliens, old castles, vampires, dinosaurs, deals with the devil, mad scientists, Wild West gunslingers, and so on. All are welcome. Give us thrilling adventures dipped in the macabre. Remember – old tropes are great, so long as your story is doing something new with them.
Tales of the fantastic invading ordinary settings. Bring terrible and unpredictable horrors into the suburbs, into our workplaces, into our homes.
Magical realism. Don’t worry too much about explaining how or why strange things happen. We are perfectly willing to accept that they do and move on to the good stuff in the story.
Playfulness and dark humor. We’re not looking for blatant comedy, but a certain level of mischief and glee will go a long way in making your story a fit for SPOOKY.
Classic Americana. Halloweeny hijinks. Campfire stories. Stuff that makes us feel like kids.
Personal Insights
I'm piling up the R's from this mag.
Xtra info: "Fun" will probably be the most unifying feature, though that can look like a lot of things. Imagine going through a really good haunted house, in which the shocks make your pulse race, but don't leave you sad afterward. We're not likely to want anything terribly heavy thematically.
A healthy dose of irony will probably go a long way with us as well, although we're not looking for parodies or jokes.

We would prefer Science Fiction genre stories for this anthology, though if you are familiar with Jack Vance's Dying Earth, M. John Harrison's The Pastel City, or Matthew Hughes's Archonate Series, you may know there is a thin line between SF and Fantasy in those narratives.
Personal Insights
I've never played an RGP game in my life. (Not even D&D) But I have sold a story to Todd before for his "We are all thieves" anthology. I LOVE working with him. One of the best indie presses out there, IMO.

Dark Hearts is a women-centered theme for which anyone can submit stories. The anthology will feature speculative stories and poems about women who are anti-heroes. Send us your stories about shady ladies: women and female-presenting characters breaking the rules, defying social norms, and getting up to no good!
Submission Hints
Genre: We accept science fiction, fantasy, and horror, and enjoy intelligent blends of the three. Stories and poetry outside these main genres’ will not be considered.
Editor loves: supportive female friendships. Women with a mastery of weapons or powers. Women in STEM or in disguise. Cyborgs. Hackers. Heists. Underdogs. Romance!
Sex, violence and swearing are fine, but execute thoughtfully.
We love creative interpretations of our themes, but require stories and poems to be a solid fit.
Insight
I sent in one tale it was immediately rejected. So, I've sent them another. Stay tuned...
I like this press. I sold a story to one of their anthologies based on a challenge my Dreamcasters worked on. "The Time Modules" is in The Seven Day Weekend.
I was at World Fantasy Con this October and I met the editor of The Seven Day Weekend! Greg Clumpner was such a great character. We were both members of a panel that discussed "Sports in Horror and Fantasy." It was SO MUCH FUN. Mainly due to him... I was terrified, but he has some mad speaking skills.

If accepted, we'll get our fantastic narration team to lend their voices, our editor will sprinkle some magic pixie dust on the track, and you could have your story heard by thousands of listeners each week.”
They’ve even purchased one of my pieces. I wrote a piece about a woman stuck in an immersion chamber in response to a call for stories about “Silence”.
Insights
I sold one story to them many moons ago. I've yeeted more their way, but its like sending them into a deep black void. They say they get back to about your submissions, but I rarely hear a peep after I submit. Like I've had some stories out for over a year and I haven't heard back. Even with pokes. That being said, I love their podcast. The readers are great and the stories are usually pretty good.

Shatter the Sun: Queer Tales of Untold Adventures
Submissions: Nov 1- Jan 15
Pay: 8c a word
Word range: 1-4000
Simultaneous submissions? Yes

Description
Stories of queer heroes forged and tempered in the fire, fighting dark stars and bright suns, and overthrowing tyranny in all its forms. Sword and sorcery, sweat and sandals, souls and stars.
Further vibe-check notes after getting some questions about what we are looking for: We’re probably not looking for stories set on Earth. We’re probably not looking for Indiana Jones-type stories either (though maybe a secondary-world decolonial approach would be cool?).
Submission Hints
We are looking primarily for fantasy stories on the gritty, un-epic side of things. We expect there will be a seam of the occult and cosmic horror running through the book. We’ll also probably include a couple sword and planet stories, but that won’t be the focus. We’re using the most inclusive definition of queer. Queer, trans, ace, undefinable. Throughout, we’re looking for rich, varied and nuanced understandings of gender, family and ethnicity.

Description
Channel’s aim is to provide a home for Irish and international writing that contributes to building rich, mutually sustaining relationships between human beings and the natural world. In all uses of the word, a “channel” exists to facilitate connection – to allow something, whether it be water, an electronic signal or a spirit, to pass through or towards something else. This journal exists to provide a passage through which ideas about human relationships with our environment, expressed and embodied in creative work, can flow.
Submission Hints
Channel is a literary magazine born out of the climate crisis, publishing poetry and prose with an environmentalist perspective.
We believe that humanity’s disengagement from the natural world is one of the great losses of our time, and in the onslaught of climate change we see that disengagement reaching its inevitable conclusion. If Ireland’s history of myths and stories woven from the landscape shows anything, though, it’s that the literary arts have a part to play in rebuilding our relationship with nature.
Our goal at Channel is to provide a space for literary work that fosters re-connection with the natural world. We publish work from Ireland and abroad that displays and celebrates the relationships between plant and animal life, landscape and humanity.
We want words that act as a path, a safe passage wide enough for ideas to flow through. We want words that join human beings and our habitats together.

Simultaneous submissions? No
Reprints? yes 1c a word
Description
The Deadlands exists in liminal spaces between life, death, and elsewhere. We are looking for speculative fiction that concerns itself with death–but also everything death may involve. A ghost in a shadowed wood. An afterlife discovered through a rusted door. An abandoned house in the middle of a haunted field. A skeletal figure moving with intent toward something unseen. Death personified. Burials in troubled lands. A raised scythe against a clouded sky. Memento mori. The rivers of the dead. The sprawling underworlds beneath our feet.
The Deadlands would love to see stories from a worldwide perspective, different cultures, different approaches to death. We welcome stories from everyone, everywhere. Stories that feature characters impacted by someone passing away and processing the event of death, are fair game, but will likely be a hard sell. Stories about related subjects—zombies, demons, vampires, apocalypses, and the various undead—are not for us. An apocalypse may be your setting, but it isn’t your story. We are absolutely not interested in seeing weird West stories, steampunk tales, or military fiction. We are not interested in stories involving Lovecraft’s mythos. Humor will be a harder sell than heartbreaking. If your story begins with someone waking up, it is not for us.
Submission Hints
We are never far from death—Dante reminds us. It is always there, just out of sight, around the bend in the road. The faraway nearby, Rebecca Solnit says. We could step past a tree in that wild forest and be there. Where? The Deadlands.
The Deadlands is a monthly speculative fiction magazine. We publish short stories, poems, and essays about the other realms, of the ends we face here, and the beginnings we find elsewhere. It is an adventure into the unknown, to meet those who live there still, even though they may be dead. Death is a journey we all will take, but we’d like to peek at the map before we go.
We are generally open to fiction and nonfiction submissions, except for a year-end holiday closure. Poetry submissions are open the first two weeks of every month, resuming in February 2022. Explore our guidelines and read our issues to see what we’re publishing and if your work might fit.
Insight
I've sent in 12 stories. I've got 12 rejections. I met the publisher of this magazine at World Fantasy Con. Sean Markey was a wonderful host for our Koffeeklatsch. He has some big new projects in the works and he is doing some unique things with fiction and music... keep an eye out on his website! Meanwhile. Keep subbing your stuff about death. (Not murder stories, not gore. Contemplative stuff about the nature and meaning of death.)
“Brilliant list. Love your insights."
