I know that here in Australia it's almost impossible to get horror published under the 'horror' banner. Recently, a major publisher decided to take the plung and start a new line called 'Dark Suspense'. After a lengthy reading process, they accepted four manuscripts with a view to accepting and publishing two more each year; but, within a couple of months, the editor who had spearheaded the project was no longer with the company, and it has been stated that this new line - which, based upon disappointing pre-sales, the company believes isn't 'viable' in commercial terms - won't be continued. If this is the state of mainstream publishing, I think that the only hope for the true horror reader (and writer) could be to look to the independent presses.
