Notorious Press is now accepting submissions of short fiction for an upcoming mystery/crime anthology, tentatively titled How'd They Do That. "General theme is that all stories will center on quirky methods of committing or solving a crime. That's right, the 'quirky' part can be acts by either the criminals or the investigators, or both." Pays: $50 "for new stories in the 2,000 to 8,000 word range. Very limited number of reprints may be taken." Deadline: October 21, 2007. (And there's an interesting twist here: "Let's face it, the current temporary title for this anthology is a little soft....So if you submit a story with a title we adopt (with your permission) for the overall book we'll gladly pay you double. Even if you don't submit a story, send us the winning title idea and get $25, credit in the book and 2 free copies if we choose and use your suggestion)." Full guidelines here.
