Because we underestimated the enormous amount of work that goes into making a book, Chicago Overcoat's release date is being pushed back as we've finished Neverlands and Otherwheres.
Fill in the
Blank:
“Hard-boiled detective”
meets ________.
This will be a collection of stories that are slipstream, cross-genre,
surreal, humorous, SF/Fantasy, and experimental.
|
More than anything, however, stories will focus on noir. Since the term "Chicago Overcoat" is taken
straight from The Big Sleep, the stories of this
anthology will be as new and adventurous as its inspiration material
was back in the day.
If your work is selected, we will purchase
FNASR at the following rates:
$5 for flash (>1000 words)
$10 for short stories (1000 + words),
and $25 for a novella of <10,000.
