Submissions open now until filled.
Send submissions to me at author.chris@gmail.com
Single space, indented paragraphs, no space between paragraphs.
No headers, no footers, no page numbers and no embedded text.
Put short bio at the end of the story in the manuscript.
Put Sleepwalkin' in the subject line.
Please put your name under the title of the story...
Words: Over 2,000.
Someone has been slamming our door at night... oh it's locked, and everyone is asleep, but someone is playing with us. Someone also has turned on the inside lights of both cars, making the batteries die. Yeah, playing. In talking about it my son said maybe it is a sleepwalker, and then this anthology was born. What do sleepwalkers do? Commit crimes? What happens when they wake up, are they in bed, in the middle of a murder, or in jail?
It is, as usual, up to you what these sleepwalkers do. Dark stories please, though I might accept something funny now and then. No erotica.
Thank you Jessy Marie Roberts for another wonderful cover!

That's an amazing cover! I need to get my synapses fired for this one.

  This one sounds fascinating and I sleepwalk. Weird feeling to wake up in the morning and find things misplaced or doors unlocked.

Mmm, I keep getting tempted by these. I've done a rough outline for this, hopefully will get to write during the weekend and submit next week. Looking forward to sleeping, next year.

Looking forward to reading that and yeah, sleeping isn't for the writer, it's extra writing time!
Gayle, wow, unlocking the doors is not a good thing, lol.

Hi Chris,
Just wondering, would you take a reprint? I have a story that might fit, which was published ten years ago in a UK magazine...

Really pleased to have made this one, thanks Chris! I'm very proud of this story, so it's great to get it out there again. Btw, love the cover.

Wow, there are so many new cool anthos available, with awesome covers too. I feel like I've been out of the loop for a while.
Well... I kinda have. I've spent all this month working on my NaNoWriMo novel & editing. I did finish my story the other day and met my NaNo goal, so cool. Got some editing to do tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a chance to dust some stories off to sub them to Static Movement soon.
