Taking Submissions: Deranged

March 1, 2019 - March 2, 2019

Deadline: March 1st, 2019
Payment: $25

Got some sick, twisted suppressed sexual desire you’ve been dying to write about? Well, that crazy Welsh writer David Owain Hughes and I might be able to help you release your pent-up tension.

Check out our new open call for Deranged, an anthology celebrating taboos. Horror, splatterpunk, horrotica, bizarro, and black comedy are the chosen genres, so get your gimp masks on, you deranged people, and jump on board!

Deranged Anthology Open Call Facebook Group Page

Most of us have sexual fantasies. For those of us who do, these fantasies are harmless enough, and we have no problem sharing them with our partners in the hope they’ll indulge us. Maybe your fantasy is seeing a female in a good pair of black stockings, a nice pair of high-heels and a short skirt? Or possibly a muscleman dressed as a fireman? Perhaps the fantasy involves being tied up, or having your bits locked away in a chastity device? Whipped? Beaten? Ridiculed?

Maybe you border more on the extreme edge: adult toys or sticking a dick in a Hoover until it bleeds, cannibalism, torture?

Or maybe your carnal desires are deemed illegal in your neck of the woods?

Whatever it is, we need it. Repressing it would be futile—unless it’s a killer kink or perversion that’s going to land you in hot water up to you neck if left unchecked . . .

GENRES: Horror, Horrotica, Splatterpunk, Bizarro, Black Comedy

We are looking for original, well-layered stories with strong character development. Your tale should feature a woman as the key protagonist/antagonist and should be cleanly edited before being submitted.

Other than that, this is no holds barred—do not hold back.
