MALPRACTICE: AN ANTHOLOGY OF BEDSIDE TERROR.

NECROTIC TISSUE will be accepting submissions for MALPRACTICE: AN ANTHOLOGY OF BEDSIDE TERROR.

To many of us, a hospital may be one of the most frightening scenarios there are. It can leave you completely vulnerable and places your livelihood in the hands of complete strangers. It’s the perfect formula for horrific tales. All that’s missing is YOU; the ideal catalyst. We are seeking stories from 2000 to 4000 words in length. The pay rate will be 1 cent a word and one contributor’s copy.

Stories must have some connection with Bloom Memorial Hospital. The Hospital can be located anywhere for your tale. Indeed, Bloom Memorial exists as a complete hospital in many towns, but you can also get to it through any hospital or clinic in the world.
All genres will be considered as long as the finished product scares the surgical scrubs right off of us. Think Dr. Mengele meets Bedlam hospital and make it that much worse. All necrotic Tissues content guidelines apply with exception of word count. The word count is limited to stories between 2,000 and 4,000 words. We will also take a select few 100-word stories for a flat fee of $10 and one contributor copy.

Our reading time will be July 1st until September 30th, or until filled. The anticipated publication date will be late 2008 or early 2009.

Please provide a cover letter with name, address, email and published credits (if any). If this information is missing, your submission will be unread and deleted. Send all submissions to: anthology@necrotictissue.com. All submissions should be in proper manuscript format and pasted into the body of your email.
