Dark Helix Press is open to submissions for a short story anthology – Once Upon Our Time: Fairy Tale Retellings (tentative title) that will be published in 2027.
Editors Jen Frankel and I are seeking short stories (1,500–5,000 words) that breathe new life into classic fairy tales. Retellings can be dark, hopeful, subversive, futuristic, or culturally reimagined—whatever sparks your creativity. Whether your story is set in a dystopian city, a forgotten village, or an alien world, we want to see how you reinterpret the old tales for a modern audience. Stories must clearly draw inspiration from an existing fairy tale, folklore, or myth.
Deadline: May 31, 2026, midnight EST.
