Hi everyone! With the great success of Tales Volume 1, we have decided to continue on and go for Tales Volume 2. This thread serves as our official call for submissions.

>What is Tales?
Tales of the Unreal is a periodically published book series taking inspiration from pulp magazines such as Weird Tales. We pick 12 to 15 of the best subs, put them into a book, and publish it with a book cover and style that emulates the pulp magazines of old.

>What we want
The horrible, the unknowable, the weird! We want your horror or weird fiction short story. Somewhere in the realm of 2 - 5000 words, but if you need a little more room, if the story is exceptional it will still be considered!

>When do we want it?
Submissions are open YEAR ROUND. This is just a dedicated call for Tales 2, with a close date of August 1ST AT 11:59pm EST.

>Where do I submit?
Please email your submission to unrealpressandpodcast@proton.me in any format of your choosing. We do light editing for formatting and spelling only, and otherwise keep the entire intent of the author.
Please include with your submission the name you would wish to be published under.
You can also query that email for any questions you may have.

>Where can I find Tales 1?

Remember when Unreal Press doxxed and harrassed multiple Unreal and &amp contributors over some petty Discord drama? Don’t trust them. Send your work elsewhere.

>> No.22214968

We're probably all aware at this point, but it never hurts to have a quick reminder: it is not necessary to respond to anons who are clearly just looking to stir up drama unrelated to content and quality of Tales of the Unreal, or &amp, or Frank Gardner, or Miles or Zulu or Ogden. It's incredibly obvious to everyone that the drama is all being manufactured by one anon for his own amusement, so you don't need to point it out to anyone. It's pathetic e-drama, no one is genuinely curious about what might be happening, so if anyone asks for more information you can be positive they're just hoping you'll say something that will trigger a response from someone else. Multiple anons have come forward to say they have no idea what any of this shit is about, they just know they can type of a combination of "dox" "unreal" "drama" "ari" and/or "discord" and they will get guaranteed responses.

You don't need to respond to this post, either. If you'd like to see a day wherein anons can come together and try to entertain other anons without a bunch of petty name/samefagging e-drama, then you need only stop giving them attention. Any attempt to defend your motivations, set the record straight, or clear the air will be met with willful ignorance and bold unfounded accusations.

False. At least Rhyme had some amount of editorial skill and charisma. He was carrying Unreal.

I mean they've only doxxed two people so far. You're unlikely to get doxxed I'd imagine. My issue is more that I don't want to associate with people who dox contributors for petty reasons when I'm trying to build a name for myself, especially when all those people have to offer me is a spot in a crappy anthology that no one actually reads. I have more to gain by actively disassociating from these people.
