Title: Loophole
Post by: Eric James Stone on March 18, 2006, 12:48:45 AM

I got an acceptance today (with a request for a revision that will make the story stronger) for a short story of mine called "Loophole."  It's for Latter-day Speculative Fiction 4, a Mormon-themed spec-fic anthology.

"Loophole" is about a Mormon who finds out he's married to a demon.  A sample quote:

Quote

"Demons." He bobbed his head a little. "As in evil creatures from . . . ?" He caught himself before he said "Heck," but couldn't bring himself to call it "Hell." The ingrained habits from his Mormon upbringing still had power.

They're still looking for submissions.  You can find the guidelines at http://www.parablespub.com/ldsf.
