Gentlemen:

I have written a book that you might want to publish. It is very good. It is all scary

and all true. It is called TrueTales of Demon Infestations. I know all the things in it from

ﬁrst hand. Contents include stories from “The World of Voodoo,” “The World of the

Aether,” and “TheWorld of the Living Dead.” I include recipes for some potions as well,

but these could be “censored” if you felt they were too dangerous although for most peo-

ple they won’t work at all and in a chapter called “The World of Spells” I explain why.

I am offering this book for publication now. I am willing to sell all rights (except

for movie rights; I will direct the ﬁlm myself). There are photos if you want them. If you

are interested in this book (no other publisher has seen it, I am sending it to you because

you are the publishers of Bloody Houses, which was quite good), please answer with the

“SASE” I have enclosed. I will send the manuscript with return postage in case you

don’t like it (or don’t understand it). Please respond as soon as possible. I think “multi-

ple submissions” are unethical, but I want to sell True Tales of Demon Infestations as

soon as possible. In this book there is some “scary s**t!” If you know what I mean.

Yours sincerely,

Carlos Detweiller

r e : Submissions / January 11-15th, 1981

A new year, and the slush in the slush pile grows ever deeper. I don’t

know how the rest of your toiling editorial minions are doing, but I contin-

ue to roll the existential rock of America’s unpublished aspiring—at least my

share of it. All of which is only to say that I read my share of crud this week

(and no, I haven’t been smoking what W. C. Fields called “the illicit spon-

duix,” either—I’m just having a prolix day).

With your concurrence, I’m returning 15 book-length manuscripts

which arrived unsolicited (see Returns, next page), 7 “outlines and sample

chapters” and 4 unidentifiable blobs that look a bit like typescripts. One of

them is a book of something called “gay event poetry” called Suck My Big

Black Cock, and another, called L’il Lolita, is about a man in love with a ﬁrst

grader. I think. It’s written in pencil and it’s hard to tell for sure.

Also with your concurrence, I’m asking to see outline and sample chap-

ters on 5 books, including the new bodice-ripper from that bad-tempered

librarian in Minnesota (the authors never snoop in your files, do they, boss?

Ordinarily it would be a flat submission, but the poor performance of His

Flaming Kisses cannot be justified even by our horrible distribution set-up—

any word on what’s happening with United News Dealers, by the way?).

Synopsis for your files (below).
