Stacey came up with a super idea for an anthology at Angelic Knight Press. I did the old copy and paste thingy so you could see what it's all about. The link to the Press is below. It has more information as far as how to submit.
This proves to be a grand adventure into sci-fi/horror. Prepare your minds and your fingers for the task at hand. You know you can do this!
No Place Like Home: Tales from a Fractured Future
Once in a while a random idea strikes me at an inopportune
moment, like just before the movie begins at the theatre. That’s what
happened with this one. Luckily, I remembered it and decided to do an
anthology. This one is a little different than the ones we’ve done
before, as I’m looking for stories with a strong sci-fi theme mixed with
horror.
The premise is a future society that dehumanizes its population.
What if, in order to receive welfare (Medicaid, food stamps, the
dole—for those of you across the Atlantic) you had to be put on a
national donor’s registry? And what if someone who wasn’t on welfare
needed an organ and you were the only match? Yes, imagine a government
that makes citizens pay for their aid in one way or another. And that’s
what I’m looking for—stories set in a not so distant future gone
horribly wrong.
I already have a few stories for the anthology, one by the
incomparable Gene O’Neill. Length should be 3000 to 8000 words. If the
story is longer, please query. If you have any questions, please feel
free to query also. Deadline is August 15th and the proposed date of publication is November 10th,
conveniently planned to coincide with the inevitable dissatisfaction of
the US presidential election. (I mean one side’s always disgruntled,
right?)
So reread Orwell’s 1984 and Bradbury’s 451 Fahrenheit and then attempt to top them. Send your submissions to angelicknighpress@gmail.com.
Please refer to our submission guidelines for proper formatting. Subs
which are not properly formatted or do not include a cover letter will
be returned unread.
Get ready now!
