Cemetery Gates Media Magazine

Cemetery Gates Media was founded in 2015 by longtime friends John Brhel and Joe Sullivan and focuses on publishing fantasy and supernatural fiction. Cemetery Gates Media is based in Binghamton, New York.

They have published a number of anthologies that seemed to do well, and they have paid all contributors. The anthologies reflect a wide range of work. It’s important to note that the bulk novels and short story collections they’ve published in the past have all been self-publishing endeavors, which is to say they mostly published their own work.

They have excellent covers but they do not mention a print distributor, which usually means they do not have one.

They are currently reading submissions for My Dark Library Novella series, edited by Sadie Hartmann, who also goes by the moniker Mother Horror. They are specifically interested in the following:

Authors who have found themselves in a genre-trap and are looking for a way to showcase another storytelling voice for a different fanbase.

In My Dark Library you will find psychological, folk, quiet, supernatural, paranormal, body, found-footage, coming-of-age, spiritual, demonic, occult, cosmic, slasher horror.

They’re not currently interested in extreme, science-fiction, bizarro, erotic, apocalyptic, creature/cryptid, zombie, eco, comedy horror.
