ANTHOLOGY OPENING. Several slots are open in SHADOWS
OUT OF TIME. This is an anthology to be published in 2020 by PS Publishing in a
format similar MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS REVEALED and its predecessors THAT IS NOT
DEAD and TALES FROM THE MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
Lovecraft wrote in "Notes on Writing Weird
Fiction" (in MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS and elsewhere) that the conflict with
time is the most profound and fruitful of weird themes. So, prove him right.
Despite the overly-suggestive title, the Great Race of Yith is optional. This
theme can encompass all manner of unnatural survivals or timeslips or other
methods of transcending time. In Lovecraft's own fiction this could range from
"The Silver Key" to "The Picture in the House" to "The
Case of Charles Dexter Ward," in addition to "The Shadow Out of
Time." They are looking for eerie, haunting stories in a Lovecraftian
context, not particularly pastiches of anything.
Payment is 3 cents a word to a maximum of $100. There
is no word limit. Deadline is Feb 1, 2020. Query Darrell Schweitzer through
Facebook.
