Paranormal Anyone?

We all love reading and writing ghost stories, don't we? Well, if you're looking to head up a team of paranormal investigators here's a post by Pamela K. Kinney that gives you all the ins and outs of going about this sort of work right down to the equipment you'll need to get started. http://www.innsmouthfreepress.com/?p=2726

Here's an essay by Megan Crewe that ponders the question of why ghosts are so appealing to us http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=58133

Since you now have all that tasty information you might give it a whirl at these new publications. There's a new quarterly getting set to launch in January call Inwood Indiana http://inwoodindiana.com/?page_id=13 They pay a token payment via PayPal for poetry and fiction about small towns and subjects of a strange and unusual nature.

Story Fudge is also new and looking to launch in January. They're looking for shorts and poetry for the theme "Contact". There's a December 31 deadline for the first issue. This is a non-paying market. http://www.storyfudge.co.uk/submission-guidelines/

For something a little different we have NVF Magazine http://nvhmag1.webs.com/ They're looking for anything horror but their focus is indie film makers in the horror genre. Submissions include reviews, films and short stories but no pay. It's a pretty cool site and there's a story posted there by Joe R. Lansdale called "The Mule Rustlers" you might want to read http://nvhmag1.webs.com/fictionspotlight.htm

And over at The Drowning Machine, Corey Wilde has posted a review of "The Gift of Murder" http://drowningmachine.blogspot.com/2009/10/review-gift-of-murder.html Many thanks to Corey for the splendid review and helping to spread the word about the Toys for Tots anthology.
