It’s not unusual for an anthology to take its name from one of the stories in the collection. “Live Free or Never Die” follows that pattern, but here’s the twist: The story by that name has not yet been written or even assigned.
Between now and January 31, 2012, writers are invited to submit stories based upon that very title. Obviously the stories will feature the Live Free or Die state, its landmarks, locales and characteristics, but to be considered, they must introduce believable characters grappling with cosmic matters, apocalyptic societies and/or mind-bending new technologies.
Submit your most fantastic tale, set anywhere in New Hampshire, in any time, and it could be the one chosen to be immortalized as the title story in the third volume of New Hampshire Pulp Fiction (Volume 1: “Live Free or Undead” and Volume 2: “Live Free or Die, Die, Die!” are currently on sale across New Hampshire).
For additional details or to submit stories, write Rick Broussard at nhpulpfiction@gmail.com.
