Pink Narcissus Press has another call out: “A Stranger Comes to Town Anthology.”  For this one they are looking for fantasy stories involving imaginary or fantastic destinations of any kind.  This one is strictly fantasy and science fiction stories without the emphasis on erotica like the last one.  Stories should be between 3,000 and 6,000 words and in their hands by May 30th, 2011.  They’re not a paying market, but a writing cred is a writing cred (up to a certain point.)

Untreed Reads Publishing is preparing to celebrate both Mother’s and Father’s days with an anthology.  They want mystery, crime, suspense and thriller fiction that delves into tales of parentage.  Mothers and fathers are people like anyone else, and they have their own stories and their own angst.  Maybe it’s time to tell them.  Untreed is looking for stories between 1,500 and 7,500 words with a deadline of April 8th for the Mother’s Day anthology and May 1st for the Father’s day anthology.

With spring around the corner, it’s no wonder people are looking for ghost stories… perhaps to be told around campfires when this damn cold weather finally goes away.  The LOHP is mostly a forum, but they do a TON of anthologies.  Short story writers should bookmark this site and check back regularly.  For this call, LOHP has a deadline of January 31st, 2011 and they’re looking for, obviously, ghost stories.  Officially, that’s the Horror genre and Supernatural on the sub-genre.  They want 2,000 to 5,000 words and this one is actually a paying market.
