“A KRAMPUS ANTHOLOGY”

ANTHOLOGIST KATE WOLFORD

TO BEGIN ACCEPTING QUERIES

SATURDAY, JUNE 15

Chicago, IL (June 14, 2013) – World Weaver Press (Eileen Wiedbrauk, Editor-in-Chief) and Kate Wolford, editor ofEnchanted Conversation: A Fairy Tale Magazine, have announced they will begin accepting short story submissions onSaturday, June 15 for “A Krampus Anthology.”

You know the Jolly Old Elf of Christmas, right? Of course you do. You can’t avoid him. Yet, Santa Claus isn’t just a kindly old expert at breaking and entering and leaving gifts he didn’t actually buy for the children of a house. At least he isn’t in Austria and many other parts of Europe. In these ancient places, where, perhaps, the old, old gods still add a touch of mischief, Krampus is the angry, punishing sidekick of St. Nicholas (Santa’s counterpart in much of Europe). Known for his willingness to punish rotten children, Krampus might even be considered Santa’s dark side or evil twin.

Wolford commented, “Krampus taps into a kind of ancient darkness that captures the spirit of winter. He also seems to lend himself to humor and horror and maybe, a bit of magic. I think the story possibilities are endless and intriguing.”

Guidelines and instructions for submission are available at worldweaverpress.com/submissions/calls-for-anthologies/. Additional publication details forthcoming.
