About

Welcome to the most terrifying show on earth! Step into the Big Top if you dare and submit to Ephemera Publishing's new anthology, PSYCHO CIRCUS. We are seeking chilling tales of dark circus horror--think killer clowns, twisted lion tamers, raving mad ring masters. No matter what you choose to create, be sure your story takes place in a circus atmosphere. Dark, light, mysterious, psychological, bizarre, and twisted works are welcome as long as they contain strong elements of horror. We are looking for strong, entertaining stories with strong, interesting plots and great character development. Using gore and violence as a mere shock factor is a no-no; be sure these elements are relevant to your story's subject matter. Supernatural tales MAY be considered as long as they are unique and contain a PSYCHO CIRCUS theme. No fantasy, erotica, or sci-fi.
