Word Limits: 2000 to 10,000 words. Submissions will only be accepted as DOC (Word) or RTF formats, submitted through our submissions link. Genres Accepted: Steampunk Original, unpublished work only. No reprints, please! No simultaneous subs (submitting to emby and another press at the same time). No multiple subs, please (keeping in mind that I will notify all authors as soon as possible if a story is declined so that they may submit that story to another market and hopefully submit another story to our book). Please read and follow our submission guidelines. Steampunk and monster hunting; allow me to submit that a more perfect union has never been. Give us an undersea expedition set after marine reptile remnants of the Mesozoic Era, airships engaged in a moonlit campaign against murderous lycanthropes or even a young inventor finally succeeding in the trapping of a ghost… Stories may be set in the past, present or future. I hesitate to say more, lest I disturb the turning of ideas that have already begun in the gears of the Steampunk’s minds. Suffice it to say that I’m looking for all new, unpublished material. Any further inquiries may be made directly to the editor (myself) at [email protected] [via: Emby Press.

Winter 2014 - September 1 - October 15, 2013 Decisions by December 1, 2013 The Devil's in the Details Jamais Vu is a new pro journal from Post Mortem Press, set to feature the absolute best in dark fiction, poetry, factual morsels, criticism, and more. The title comes from the French--The strange among the familiar--and is as close to a "theme" as we're looking for. Confused? Think Richard Matheson, Jack Finney, Neil Gaiman. Specifically, we're a horror/thriller market, but are open to crossing genres, given that one of the crossed genres is horror/thriller (no western-romance, or science fiction-mystery, okay?) Language and violence are not a problem if both components are integral to the plot, dedicating 3,000 words of your 4,000 story to the graphic depiction of human mutilation would have a hard time.
