Crimeucopia - As In Funny Ha-Ha, Or Just Peculiar

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says WTF...

There comes a time when the amount of unusual submissions gets you to thinking: How can we use this stuff?

The answer is, of course, when you get enough to put together a collection of short fiction that will hopefully make you go Hmmmmm.

Yet that doesn't mean every piece in here has been written with a psychotic eye for Avant-garde detail. Okay, maybe some have - the Law of Percentages would dictate for one thing - and there is also the fact that writers are, well, to put it bluntly, often overly surreal in their inventiveness at times.

But that's certainly no reason to just leave these stories on the side in the hope that they will wander off of their own accord.

Of the 21 writers within these pages, it would be fair to say that none wrote their pieces specifically for this anthology. However, if it had not of been for them taking a gamble, then this collection would not be seeing the light of day.

Jesse Hilson, Gabriel Stevenson, Maddi Davidson, Brandon Barrows, Robb T. White, Regina Clarke, Martin Zeigler, K. G. Anderson, Andrew Hook, Ed Nobody, Jody Smith, Michael Grimala, W. T.
