Haunted Legends open submissions for TWO WEEKS only

[ellen_datlow]

Nick Mamatas and I are co-editing an all original anthology of regional ghost stories for Tor. Nick has persuaded me that it's a good idea to open submissions for two weeks. I agreed under the stipulation that he and only he reads the submissions (obviously, if he likes what you've written, he'll pass it on to me).
Read his guidelines carefully. Inability to follow them will result in two very grumpy editors:

Haunted Legends

And fyi...for anyone already solicited by us this does not apply to you...don't be paranoid. (you know who you are K ;-) )

That's a nifty idea for an anthology, Ellen. I particularly like the fact that you're looking for reworked tales from Western and non-Western cultures. I'm adding this to my list of forthcoming books to buy.

I hope you and Nick have fun putting it together!

We're trying but a LOT of people want to use the USA (it IS a large and varied place :-) )--we're encouraging more exotic climes.

Yes, it is, isn't it? But I'd like to read some tales from outside the USA and the West in general too--a retold Mongolian ghost story, for instance. Something involving Czarist refugees, a ring of abandoned wind-tattered yurts, and snow. Lots of snow.

This is an evocative anthology theme. :-)
