An anthology of humorous paranormal stories. All stories must contain paranormal elements (ghosts, psychic abilities, vampires, etc.) and be funny. Think Addams Family, Zombieland, or Love at First Bite. They should not contain gratuitous violence, gratuitous sex, or excessive foul language. We’re seeking stories that are 2000 – 5000 words in length (firm). We will also accept cartoons if submitted in electronic format. No reprints. We will accept multiple submissions, but not simultaneous submissions. Open submission period: March 1 – June 10th, 2013.

All contributors will receive a free trade paperback copy of the book. Contributors will also be able to purchase more print copies at a 40% discount on the cover price. We’re seeking first world rights in English to publish in print and electronic format for 12 months, beginning on the date of publication. All rights revert back to the author after that time. Please see our Basic Guidelines (above) for further information on the rights we ask for and their implications.
