Haunted Legends open submissions for TWO WEEKS only

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 ;-) )

oh dear, that was a great read.

"So how about if I query Ellen Datlow instead? She’s the nice one, anyways."
You have misapprehended the situation. Let us put it this way: when was the last time Ellen Datlow had an open-reading period for any of her original anthologies? She doesn’t want your queries either."

heheheh. so you are the nice one, eh? You really don't want *that* rumor to spread. Once you are known as nice, it's all down hill. ;)
