Deadline: August 1st 2013
Payment: $20

Our first book is a sort of companion piece to our wildly popular short story collection from SHB’s own D.F. Noble, SCARY F*CKING STORIES. Only this time, we’re collecting THE strangest fiction from the most talented authors in weirdo underground horror fiction. This anthology is called STRANGE F*CKING STORIES. We are looking for stories that will leave the readers scratching their heads asking, wait, what the f*ck did I just read? And by that, we do NOT mean experimental, stream-of-consciousness, or surreal fiction. We’re looking for STRONG characters, STRONG plots and STRONG conflict, only the weirdest characters, plot and conflict you can dream up. Make em scary, funny, sexy, gross, haunting, whatever, as long as it leaves us questioning our sanity and yours!

-The subject of the email should read: submission title-your name-story title-word count.
-NO TABS! Use your word processor’s paragraph settings to create paragraphs
-No simultaneous submissions. That doesn’t mean submit it to 3 or 4 places and tap your foot while you impatiently wait for our response and then send us a really apologetic email when your story gets picked up by another publisher. it means NO simultaneous submissions. Sometimes we work slow, sometimes it takes 30-60 days AFTER the deadline for us to choose ALL of the stories for our anthologies. Just because you haven’t heard back from us yet, doesn’t mean we haven’t already selected your story for the book. Telling us it got picked up by someone else first does not a happy publisher make. Are we clear on that one? Good.

Deadline is August 1st 2013. Payment is 20 dollars flat and one contributor copy of the anthology.

Good luck, gang! Give us your STRANGEST!
