Had a dream that I was contracted to write the novelization for the smash hit horror comedy Sister Act 4: The Bad Habit, and man I really wish I could live in that universe.

Crawling on six blood-colored legs, the minor demon roams the infernal ruins of an execution site, sporting a scorpion's tail and an iron sallet decorated with the visage of its master.

This minor demon, comical and chicken-like in appearance, skull exposed, struts through a barren landscape, serenading its name.

Speaking of how much I hate AI Art, I rlly wish Authors and Publishers would stop using AI images as book covers. Yโ€™all wouldnโ€™t want somebody plagiarizing your work, so why do that to visual artists? Also 9/10 it looks uncanny and weird. PLEASE GO BACK TO COLLABORATING WITH HUMANS! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

We are looking for horror fiction at a finished length of 17-40k words. Priority will be given to LGBTQA+ stories and BIPOC authors.
Little Ghosts Books will only be accepting TWO novellas for this call. A pass on your pitch is not reflective of the quality of the work, but rather the limitations of our submission call.

About Little Ghosts Press:

Little Ghosts Books was established in 2022 with the vision of showcasing new and indie horror that lacked a platform in major bookstores. Little Ghosts hosts community events, book clubs, author Work in Progress Nights, and more.

In a move to give back to the community that enthusiastically came out for Little Ghosts, we began in 2023 by publishing anthologies- offering pro rates for short stories to authors both established and brand new. To date we have published 4 novellas & 3 anthologies- plus a flip book in collaboration with Ghoulish Books.

Contracts with Little Ghosts Books are non-exclusive- authors retain all rights to work and are free to re-sell stories. We work with authors to release a piece that both reflects their vision and the Little Ghosts aesthetic. Novella contracts come with a signing bonus (not to be deducted from royalties), and royalties are set at 40% to the author. No advertising, printing, or any other costs are deductible from the royalty sum.

Little Ghosts does not use or condone the use of AI. Any submissions containing AI generated material will be rejected. No covers, assets, merch, or any other piece of Little Ghosts ephemera is or will ever be AI generated.

I recently saw a funny Reddit post about canned sardines, asking the CannedSardines subreddit what they do with the oil from their sardines (colloquially referred to DEENS in the post). Iโ€™ve since developed a new taste for canned sardines.

I feel this may be psychologically relevant.

Two Sand Witches, one driving an 90's style camper van in beige colors with a white, orange and black "W" painted decal. The witches have spray painted "WITCH SUMMER" in bright pinks and blues beneath the stowed awning. The driving witch is Black, leaning out the window, hair blowing in the breeze, she wears sunglass and bright pink and blue swimsuit. The surfing witch rides a pale pink surfboard, trailing behind her is the magical water she's summoning to stay afloat. She wears a blue bikini and her hat is coming off in the breeze. The road, safety rail, sand, ocean and landmasses beyond as slightly out of focus, these girls are going FAST.
The words "6k+" and "Thank You!" float around them.
