The Butterfly Effect: An Anthology of Broken Wings

Butterfly Charity Anthology


I know...two newsletters in one month! But this is another good one.

Myself and Angel from Voices From The Mausoleum are editing an anthology together!

Make a choice. What you'll decide will change the outcome of the story. Even the smallest action can have the biggest consequence.

 

The Butterfly Effect: wherein a small change in starting conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes. It evokes the idea that a small butterfly flapping its wings could, hypothetically, cause a typhoon.

 

We're looking for horror stories that reflect this theme. What if the murderer kills your friend instead of you? What happens after with the life you weren't supposed to have? What if you pick a horror book over another and end up inside the story? How will you survive if you haven't read the end? What if you take the bus rather than walk home? What if?

 

Think The Cabin in the Woods when a monster item is chosen. Look at Until Dawn or any of the other The Dark Pictures Anthology games — what happens if you turn right to follow the pleading voice or turn left to rejoin the group? Or even Life is Strange which isn't horror...but could be.

 

We’ve seen a lot of really great takes on the concept of the “butterfly effect” in horror, and now we want to see YOUR take! We're open to all sub-genres of horror so be creative with it!

I hope to see your story there....
