I don't know how many Stephen King wannabes, Brian Lumley-alikes or Clive Barker doppelgangers we have onboard the HMS SoulSnake, but I thought I'd post this here in case this did appeal to anyone.

With the increasing popularity of its HC chapbook line, Delirium Books is now taking submissions for a new hardcover chapbook anthology series called HORROR D’OEUVRES. The fiction in this series will consist of original flash fiction (short-shorts) that serve as an appetizer for horror readers, a small bite of horror served between bigger reads.

SUBMISSIONS: Electronic only. Stories must be cut and pasted within the body of an e-mail and sent to the address above. IMPORTANT: Stories submitted to any other e-mail address will be discarded unread. Please include word count, name and address within the e-mail. No attached files please. If accepted, files will be requested in MS Word or RTF formats. No simultaneous submissions. PLEASE SUBMIT ONLY 1 STORY PER REVIEW (if you get a reject notice, you may submit another story at that time). Multiple story submissions will be discarded upon receipt.
RESPONSE TIME: 6 months or less. Due to the amount of submissions expected and the editor’s involvement in Delirium’s limited edition horror book line, form rejections will be sent out.
PAYMENT: Five cents per word on publication in The Delirium Insider plus 1 copy of the book upon its publication.
