Call for Submissions to Anthology: Madness Heart Press

Madness Heart Press is an indie publisher and their tagline says, “Where Southern Hospitality Meets Mind Shredding Insanity”.
 
This is a call for an anthology chapbook. “The conceit is that the chapbook is a course catalog for a strange and horrible university in North Texas, (think Miskatonic of the south). Submissions should follow the example (see guidelines), with a department heading followed by course descriptions. Each description can be anywhere from 1-200 words long. They may be written to be funny, bizarre, or horrifying.” 
 
The catalog is for the fictional Nafallen University, located outside beautiful and destitute Crisp Texas, where they “offer an advanced education in butchery, beating CSI forensics, the blackest of rituals, swamp husbandry, torture, non-Euclidian mathematics, law, religious studies, sacrificial rites, and of course, business.” Contributors will be listed as Faculty.
 
Located near a Highway and a small Texas town, Nafallen is the perfect place to find an abundance of test subjects and sacrifices to aid in students’ academic studies. The isolated nature of North Texas also allows for those studies to remain undiscovered by those that would stand in the way of progress.
