The Summoning Circle’s Rules of Engagement

Before you toss your literary offering into the circle, please make sure your dark creation is the kind I’m prepared to welcome.


Favorite Dark Arts:

Gothic | Ecohorror | Folk Horror | Creature Features | Paranormal/Supernatural | Possession | Horror Comedy |
Body Horror | Fairytale Horror | YA or NA | Cozy Horror

Those Left in the Shadows:

Serial Killer | Extreme or Splatterpunk | Psychological Horror
Crime Horror | Cosmic Horror | Weird Fiction | Thriller
Survival | Pandemic/Apocalyptic Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Horror 

The Circle’s Content Warnings:

Animal cruelty or graphic animal death, sexual violence like assault or rape, child abuse, racism and bigotry. These aren’t automatic banishments from the circle, but details must be furnished. If you don't believe in giving content warnings to readers, please step away from the circle now.

What Happens After the Summoning:


No news is not a curse; it simply means the circle was not able to complete the ritual this time. If chosen, I’ll be in touch by email. 


If your book survives the summoning ritual, the review will be unleashed on Goodreads, Amazon, and (usually) social media.


If the magic fades before the 3-star mark, I’ll end the ritual. The book will be marked DNF on Goodreads and will not receive a rating. Even the darkest rituals have rules.


Thank you for trusting me with your dark creation and may your monsters find their readers!
