Submissions 2022

Novel and Story Collection Submissions Now Closed

We are currently CLOSED to novel/novella/story collection submissions. 

Strangely Funny IX - Submissions Open Again on August 1 - 31, 2022

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 mummy regrets hiring a cheap embalmer. 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 or haunted sexual organs are not welcome. Most of them are not funny (Ruschelle Dillon's stories are an exception), and we're drawing a line here.

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. The submission window is August 1st - August 31st, 2021. Please do not sub sooner. Publication of SF X will take place in April/May 2023. 


Send your submissions to mysteryandhorrorllc@gmail.com 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.
