For those who can do short stories (not my forte) and who have an interest in ghost stories, here's a FANTASTIC opportunity to submit to Nick Mamatas and Ellen Datlow and be pubbed beside some of the SF/F greats!

Call For Submissions: HAUNTED LEGENDS

Mr. Mamatas says, firmly, "[S]ubmitters have all of [...] July to write a new story for us. Do not submit immediately. Do not submit trunk stories. Haunted Legends, to be published by Tor Books, seeks to reinvigorate the genre of "true" regional ghost stories by asking some of today's leading writers to riff on traditional tales from around the world. We don't just want you to retell an old ghost story, but to renovate it so that the story is dark and unsettling all over again."

I think the anthology is getting nearly full. But there may be one or two of you who could pull this off with great panache! It's just not up my alley at all, but if you think you would like to try, click on the link for submission guidelines. The interesting part might be if you could rework an old trunk story . . . no, no, he says not to do it. But if he doesn't KNOW and can't TELL it's reworked . . . well. . . .

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
