D.O.A

This is the one that goes all the way! D.O.A. will be a shocking anthology unsuitable for the faint of heart. We want stories 750 -5,000 words, that push the limits. The crazier, stranger and gorier the better. No subject is taboo. However, with that in mind, we are not simply looking for torture stories containing no point or direction. Blood and guts only work if there is a great story and creative twists to back it up. The best way to describe what we’re looking for is to imagine that the guys from Cannibal Corpse got together with Richard Matheson and penned a story. The result would be D.O.A. So if you ever had a story idea that you felt was too extreme or offensive for a sane publisher, then send it our way. We want your worst!

Accepted stories will be paid a flat rate of $5.00. In the future we hope to raise that rate and open up more contests and opportunities for professional payments. But until Blood Bound Books gets established this is the best we can do.
