Overdue: Tales of Mystery and Adventure A project of 18thWall Productions (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2018). We provide the following information as an archive. About Throughout history, great books have been lost. Books with forgotten knowledge; books with information that could rewrite history as we know it; or simply books that could make someone a pretty penny. Many of these works, are, no doubt, gone for good. Some, however, may still survive as lone copies hidden in musty archives, quirky bookshops, jealously guarded private collections, dismal castles, or remote caverns. A global effort has been launched to find them. These are the stories from behind the scenes. Overdue is a shared-universe anthology joining together M.H. Norris’s All the Petty Myths and Jon Black’s Bel Nemeton.
