Submissions are on hiatus.
Due out this year:
We are committed to publishing one anthology (Strangely Funny XI) in 2025. Nothing else is open at this time.
Novel and Story Collection Submissions are Closed
We are currently CLOSED to novel/novella/story collection submissions. Submissions will not be responded to unless we have a previous publication history with you.
Strangely Funny - Series is On Hiatus
This annual collection of funny paranormal stories is the press' flagship series. Your tale must be funny and have supernatural/paranormal elements. Examples of stories from previous collections: Homicide is summoned to a halfway house for the undead, a finger transplant from a serial killer leads to hilarious consequences, a certain reanimator treats a Miskatonic U football player before the big game. Lovecraft humor is welcome; shaggy dog stories are not.
Also, and yes, we've received enough subs where we now have to specify this, stories about disembodied, feral, or haunted sexual organs are not welcome. Most of them are not funny (Ruschelle Dillon's stories are an exception), and the publishing arm of the LLC refuses to format them.
Story length should be 2000 (firm)-5000 words. If you sub something longer, it better be really funny or you need to be Stephen King. If Mr. King is reading this, I'm sure the 2K words will be no problem. The submission window is August 1st - August 31st, 2024. Please do not sub sooner. Publication of SF XII will take place in 2025, but no set date yet.
Send your submissions to [email protected] with “Strangely Funny” in the subject line. If we buy your story, you will receive a free print copy of the book and $10 USD. We no longer pay royalties on anthologies. For further information on publishing rights, please go to our Submission Guidelines page.
