Has anyone heard anything about Tales from the Asylum? I know they put it on hold for a while due to a death in the family, but according to their website they were going to get going again in September. There hasn't been any movement on their submissions since July.

Not sure. I was supposed to have something published in May, and then, well, things started getting postponed.

I do seem to recall them being located along the coast, though exactly where I cannot recall. Louisiana, I believe, so I'm not sure if the storm activity of late my have prolonged the delay...

Mystery Solved

JComp - breathe a sigh of relief! From the Asylum is not going away, they are back, and I can't wait to see your story there! I just got this from them:

"First, let me apologize for your extremely long wait. We fell far behind where we had ever intended to be, and I know that it is difficult to let a piece be away from home that long. We do have good excuses, including a death in the family and a hurricane that destroyed most of the area.

We are reading all submissions now and responding as quickly as possible. You will hear from us within the next three months, hopefully much sooner.

Our new issues will be out this month, and all work on the anthologies is back in progress. We have completed the first round and will be sending out initial rejections and acceptances this week.

Thank you for your patience through our difficulties."

Story's up. Wow, the bio's already out of date (changed jobs, The Deepening's been down for a while... etc.)

Very happy to see the site back up. I know they've been through quite a bit recently. And I'm really happy to have my story up on From the Asylum. I've been submitting to them for years, it's always been one of my favorite sites with some truly excellent stories.
