Over at Duotrope I came across a pair of anthology markets that might interest some of you.
First is "20Spec". This anthology is looking for 1920's era speculative fiction. They've also included links to the language and history of the era to help make your story more authentic. 1500 to 5000 words and the pay is 1cent a word. The deadline is December 20. I'm thinking that if any of you wrote stories for that Speakeasy anthology and didn't make the cut, your story might find a home here. You can find the details at http://dragoninkhouse.com/submissions
The second call is for "Clones and Crucifixes". They're looking for short stories that are a cross between The Exorcist and Blade Runner. The deadline is December 20 for this one also. 1000 to 3500 words and the pay is 1cent a word. You can find all the details at http://corpulentinsanitypress.com/submissions/clones-and-crucifixes/ I need to add that this anthology is being published as part of the press' Chapterbook project and will have no ISBN number. Something you might want to check into before you submit. I'm not sure, but I believe that ISBN numbers have to do with copyright and if not copyrights, at least it makes sure the work is properly registered.

Seems like nobody wants a story without some kind of supernatural or grisly premise. Ordinary people kill too,.
That seems to be the trend, Patti. Maybe we see so much of the ordinary people killing on TV that we want a different reason for killing in our reading? Makes you sleep easier at night :)
