Toward the end of last year, Misha Burnett challenged the Nasty, Brutish, and Short writing group to each compile and release an anthology this year. As Fauxpocalypse, a project he conceived, marked the start of my career as a professional author, it felt right to not only accept but dive in. So, I’m issuing a call for short stories.
Scary, thrilling, unnerving, or weird stories featuring clowns; but ones where the clown isn’t the thing that’s scary, where there’s something worse. Full details here: davidjhiggins.wordpress.com/submission-calls/call-for-submissions-fears-of-a-clown/

Sounds like the hyperlinks in the text weren’t standing out, so I’ve replaced one with a hyperlinked address.

Reblogged this on Audrey Driscoll's Blog and commented:
Here’s a call for submissions with a rather interesting theme. Be sure to click on the link in Dave’s post for details. You might also want to read his follow-up post about how he came up with the idea.

I’m interested in writing a story for the anthology, but I wanted to know if it’s all right if the clowns in question can be supernatural as long as they’re not evil and have something scarier to worry about.

Supernatural clowns, alien clowns, or other clowns that aren’t merely humans in costumes are fine.
