NEW SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES to ST ROOSTER BOOKS!


We're starting two subscription services at St Rooster Books! 

The first is for Stranger With Friction, our literary/horror/punk rock magazine, which drops four times a year. Our first three issues have come out really well and have received some solid reviews. We have a December issue coming to close out 2021 and then the first issue of 2022 should drop late February.


 Our second subscription service will be a lot more comprehensive; every book we release in 2022, including four issues of Stranger With Friction. We've had an amazing 2021 with the books we've released and the positive reactions from critics and readers. Subscribers will get exclusive goodies, early previews of releases, chances to win exclusive merch, and more. Part of this subscription will include seven books that I can't reveal the details on, but we're releasing six new editions of some books by one author that I LOVE and those reprints will be followed by a brand new seventh book. At this point, we have about 4-6 other new releases dropping as well, including our new anthology, which we'll be announcing an open call for in January! 



St Rooster Books 2022 releases plus a year of SWF: $130 
St Rooster Books 2022 releases: $100 
One year subscription: $40. 
Two year subscription: $70.

For details and to sign up or order any of our current and past releases direct from St Rooster, contact me at Holyrooster76@gmail.com.

OPEN SUBMISSION CALL! KIDS OF THE BLACK HOLE; A PUNKSPLOITATION ANTHOLOGY


Kids of The Black Hole; 
A Punksploitation Anthology
St Rooster Books is proud to announce our next anthology and this one is near and dear to our hearts, Punksploitation! We are looking for crime, horror, and sci-fi (or any combination of the three) themed short stories that fall in to that sub-genre. What is Punksploitation, some of you may ask? Check out films like Return of the Living Dead, Suburbia, Class of 1984, Green Room, or Repo Man.

The title Kids of the Black Hole comes from a song by the OC hardcore band The Adolescents. Just this past June bass player and only constant band member Steve Soto passed away. I’m naming the book after their song as a small tribute to him.

I’m going to say up front, if you’re a guy and you send me a rape revenge story, it’s highly unlikely you’re getting in. Let’s just not go there. Sexist, racist, and/or homophobic stories are not welcome. Certain terms/phrases may be excusable, if say your story is set in 1980, a less ‘woke’ ‘PC’ time, but use sensitivity. If someone uses a homophobic slur, I want to know their head will explode by the end of your story. I guess a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, What Would Jello Do?

Word count: 3,000 to 5,000 words. If longer, inquire with a synopsis of your story beforehand.
Original fiction only; no reprints.
Payment: half cent per word and a contributor copy.
Deadline: December 31st.
Attach your submission as a .doc or .docx and send to holyrooster76@gmail.com.
Our Anthology Could Be Your Life.
