Noirror? What the Hell is Noirror


Here's the cover, get your name on it

Yeah, what the Hell is Noirror.
Well, it's a word we made up.
Ever see those crime fiction anthologies dedicated to stories inspired by a band?
This one is kind of like that only since we call ourselves 'Pulp Fiction that skips the boring parts' and pulp fiction includes horror and crime so we thought ours should not be strictly crime (Rock -n- Noir) or Horror (Rock -n- Horror) thus, Rock -N- Noiirror.


So here's what we are looking for:

Short stories in the horror and crime genres that somehow involve rock, blues or heavy metal music. Not so much famous musician stuff but down and dirty bar band stuff (bonus points if you set it in Swinging Dick's Saloon). We want dive bar gigs instead of Stadium tours. Stories about the kind of places people do meth in the parking lot (Because it's not rock and roll if no one's doing crank in the parking lot).



Places like this only not near as nice

We want stories about the bands that didn't make it.  Dark is good, brutally dark is even better.


Like Yvette

The length should be between 1k and 10k words. If you think you have the perfect thing for this and it's longer than 10k pitch us the idea and we'll consider it. Otherwise, just email what you got.
We'd love to make everyone rich but right now payment is a couple of contributors copies and some 10th Rule swag.


Let's rock!



We will be accepting submissions through March or until we have enough.
Send your submissions to 10thrulebooks@gmail.com

Still not sure what we're looking for?
Check out this one, or this one, this one, this one, or even this one.

A Night at Swinging Dick's Saloon

Image
Swinging Dick's Saloon, the kind of dive that has way better beers on tap than a hole in the wall like it should have. Like this one It's the kind of place that doesn't have to say it's a dive bar because everyone knows just by looking at the place. Also, any bar that advertises itself as a dive bar is not a dive bar. This is not Swinging Dicks Saloon It's the kind of place where the owner (Dick though he tells people to call him, Richard) is often the drunkest guy in the place, though sometimes he drinks in the bar down the street because the barmaids are hotter. This is not Dick but he is a regular It's the kind of place where the barmaids wear skimpy outfits even when they shouldn't. They do wear more than her but not much more It's the kind of place where the bartender never remembers what your drink of choice is but he believes he does. Not my drink of choice but still pretty good They have live bands on the
