Strange Musings Press is looking for short funny paranormal stories of life after death for our new anthology, Alternate Hilarities 5: One Star Reviews of the Afterlife.

I don’t want to lock anyone down as to what I am looking for, but you need to have two things for sure. It needs to deal with the afterlife and it needs to be funny. I’m looking for administrative mistakes in heaven, weird deals with the devil, strange stories of hauntings and odd interpretations of eternity. I will consider Fantasy, Science Fiction or Horror if you make some connection to the afterlife.

Remember, your story needs to be funny all the way through. If it is just a lead up to a punch line, make it short (500 words).

We will consider reprints if your story has been out of print for more than two years.

We are looking for:

Flash Fiction between 500 and 1500 words.

Short Fiction between 1501 and 6000 words.

We are paying:

Reprint Flash Fiction – one E-book.

Reprint Short Fiction – one E-book and 1 share of royalties.

New Flash Fiction – a half cent a word paid on publication as well as one E-book and 1 share of royalties.

New Short Fiction – one cent a word paid on publication as well as one E-book and 2 shares of royalties.

We will be running a Kickstarter to fund a print edition and our first set of stretch goals will be to increase payments for the contributors. Between 2 and 8 cents, depending on backers support. All contributors will get a copy of the print edition upon successful funding of the Kickstarter.

Alternate Hilarities 5 is slated for release in the second quarter of 2015.

Please review the submission Guidelines

The official deadline for this anthology is December 31st.
