“She-Clowns” Drabbles, Micro, Flash and Short (up to 1500 words). Deadline is August 15th, 2012. I have a confession to make. Clowns scare the shit out of me. So, I thought, how about stories that feature scary women clowns that are killers. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. I don’t care if your she-clowns are vamps, weres, zombies or hookers, as long as they scare me. Gimme your best scary clowns. Make me a believer that even a clown with boobs is a nightmare. Put “SHE-CLOWNS: SUBMISSION” in the submission email subject line. I’m also looking for articles for this one. MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS will be accepted for this issue.
“The Historical Undead: Alternate Zombie History” Flash & Shorts (1000 up to 2000 words). Deadline October 26th. Just in time for Hallo-scream! Stories of zombies in alternate history settings. Such as George Washington crosses the Delaware with a boatload of undead. Have fun with it. Wrack your brains, but beware of zombies! Will also take poetry for this one, if you can write an alternate history zombie poem. Humor is also good, especially in the zombie genre. Put “ALTERNATE ZOMBIE HISTORY: SUBMISSION” in the submission email subject line. Also looking for articles on zombies in history, zombies in modern culture, etc. Will accept MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS for this issue.
“The Were-Traveler: Big Bad Wolf in a Big Bad Universe” Drabble, Micro, Flash and Short (up to 2000 words). Deadline December 20ish. Where the crazy idea for this e-zine originally came from: a story in my head that is yet to be written. We’ll see what you can do with it. Accepting submissions for drabbles, micro, flash and short stories 2K or less on the following themes:
- Lone Werewolf traveling. On the road. The man-beast (or woman-beast) with an itinerary.
- Werewolf or werewolves in space. I would LOVE a science fiction/horror werewolf story.
I like the idea of lone werewolf so much, and I’ll like the stories that come from that angle much better than stories about groups of werewolves. Please…no Jacob-Team crap or whatever it’s called. BE CREATIVE! Helpful Tip: If you can craft an awesome werewolf story within a science fiction frame, you up your chances of getting it published in this issue. Put “WERE-TRAVELER: SUBMISSION” in the submission email subject line.
