David Joseph Clarke announces an anthology he’s putting together for Obsolescent.info: Suction Cup Dreams: An Octopus Anthology. He’s looking for stories “dealing with the most fascinating and noble of marine lifeforms, the octopus. We welcome all subgenres and forms of fiction, spanning genres and styles, from romance, historical fiction, crime dramas, to sci-fi horror. We are looking for short stories which either showcase or are inspired by the octopus as a central theme.” He’s paying $20 and one copy for stories between 1,000 and 7,500 words long. Submission deadline is 31 January 2012. For full submission details, see this page.
Clarke is “a German-American filmmaker, producer, and media consultant” who is leveraging “his international media expertise for the realm of the written word.”
