Welcome to the most terrifying show on earth! Step into the Big Top if you dare and submit to Ephemera Publishing's new anthology, PSYCHO CIRCUS.
We are seeking chilling tales of dark circus horror--think killer clowns, twisted lion tamers, raving mad ring masters. No matter what you choose to create, be sure your story takes place in a circus atmosphere.
Dark, light, psychological, bizarre, and twisted works are welcome as long as they contain strong elements of horror. We are looking for strong, entertaining stories wthl strong, interesting plots and great character development. Using gore and violence as a mere shock factor is a no-no; be sure these elements are relevant to your story's subject matter. Supernatural tales MAY be considered as long as they are unique and contain a PSYCHO CIRCUS theme. No fantasy or sci-fi.
All submissions must be previously unpublished works.
This is an OPEN call for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit; we look forward to receiving submissions from both new and established writers.
PSYCHO CIRCUS will be available in both quality paperback and digital formats. The anthology will be edited by Eva Glynn Stephens, and will be available for purchase through various, well known venues. PSYCHO CIRCUS will feature a beautifully designed full color cover, featuring custom art work.
This is a CONTEST anthology. Accepted works will be judged and prizes will be awarded as follows:
EDITOR'S CHOICE: Best of Anthology--Winning story will be featured as the anthology's opening tale, and the author will be awarded $50.00 and one copy of PSYCHO CIRCUS
1st Place: $25.00
2nd Place: $15.00
3rd Place: $10.00
All other accepted submissions will be given exposure only
All submissions will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a free paperback copy of PSYCHO CIRCUS.
At this time no submission deadline has been set, but we are planning a TENTATIVE Halloween release. Response time is currently 7-10 days, subject to change, depending upon the number of submissions we receive.
WORD COUNT: 1,000-7,000 firm
AUTHOR BIO: Please include a brief (1-2 paragraph) bio at the end of your manuscript.
