;Horror Fiction
Where can I find a publisher who will consider my first book of short horror fiction?
I have just completed my first book of short horror fiction and was wondering if anybody knew of any agents or publishers who would consider my work for publication? The book is around 88,000 words and covers a wide range of horror subjects, from vampires to ghosts.
I hope I CAN find a publisher, as I cannot afford to self publish!

Is this a good plot for a mystery/horror/fiction story/book?
Okay…
Theres this girl named Brittney who goes to Willow-Oak boarding school who is kinda popular, she has a upbeat, bubbly personality and shes just plain fun to be around. She has blonde gold hair, with vivid green eyes. She isn’t like by this one girl (list evil names, but no victoria or courtney, too simply evil, somthing nice i guess) and she always fights with her. She got her angry one day by ticking her off all day, in every class,
(1- she got a better quiz grade 2- she chose the project miss evil wanted and only one person could do each project in that class i guess 3- the last pizza for lunch was taken by brittney and miss evil had to eat liver and lima beans 4- miss evil answers a question wrong and then her stomach growls LOUDLY cuz shes hungry from lunch and brittney answers it right. WOW! bad day for miss evil!)
so miss evil says to her that she’ll get back at her someday and brittney just guesses that nothing she does can hurt her in anyway.
…But you see, miss evil never said she’ll hurt BRITTNEY. she just said she’ll get BACK at her.
See what i mean?
So then brittney is too busy to notice that miss evil hasn’t done anything yet. Meanwhile during occassional visits from White Oak Academy For All Boys gets Brittney friendly (seriously, friendly, nothing more) with a boy named Alex. These people that are superiors in boarding schools have to come to check out the school status and the way the girls behave. On a weekend, though, Brittney hears yelling from the basement, and goes to check it out, when a superior stops her. She tells her that she hears yelling. They check it out, and Alex is in the basement holding a long metal pole. a superior is on the ground, with his head bleeding, and from the scene, the other superior thinks that alex should be expelled immediately.
Thats all for book one, but what should miss evil be called, and title of series???
thanks JRH im naming it
“Issues of a Commonly Secretive Girl”
or
Secrets of The Boarding School
if not that, please try to include secrets or commonly or common in the title please!!!

Mystery/Crime/Horror First Person Fiction?
I’m a huge fan of the Dexter novels, but now I need something else to quence my thirst. I am looking for anything that fits in the mystery/crime/horror genres that features first person narrative with the narrator being an anti-hero, serial killer, or other person of less than steller moral character. Especially if the character is somewhat crazy or unhinged.
