Horror at Camp Waifu Writing Contest

After revisiting my early nerdy years as an otaku, I thought about how I could blend the horror that Deadman’s Tome publishes and anime together. Then it hit me: Camp Waifu. A very simple, straightforward writing contest that spans an intense 60 days (30 days of contest entry and 30 days of competing) where people can submit their work and then have that work read and judged by the people.

THEME:

Submit a short horror story (3000 to 5000 words in length) about what happens at Camp Waifu. Is it a Friday the 13th situation? Is it a trap that leads to a young virgin strapped into a SAW device? Or does it toss away horror for more of a humorous and twisted fate?

RULES:

Entry into the contest starts 8/8/2019 and ends 9/8/2019.

The stories that are entered will be posted on this site where readers can like, comment, and share.

The stories will be uploaded on the site on 9/9/2019 and for 30 days they will compete for the most views, likes and comments.

Only ONE entry per person.

No reprints.

No restrictions or limitations.

Winner gets a $25 Amazon Gift Card.

HOW TO SUBMIT:

Send your story to deadmanstome@gmail.com

Be sure to check out the Deadman’s Tome podcast for updates and info about the contest.

What is Your Favorite Dracula?

Hey guys, what is your favorite Dracula and why? You can choose any depiction or version of Dracula. You could even choose Nosferatu or get very technical on the type of movie Dracula.

So, which Dracula is your favorite?

Is it the Bela Lugosi version or Christopher Lee version?

Is it none of the film versions, but perhaps Dracula as depicted in Castlevania? What about Alucard in Hellsing?

Let me know in the comments section and ask others.

Now, let me shoutout to Damascus Mincemeyer. This guy is the talent behind a lot of the Deadman’s Tome covers, but he also proposed this question on Twitter.

The Case of the Missing Penis?

Some of you may or may not know that I post a lot of videos on YouTube on the MrDeadmanDt channel. The channel covers news, drama, with some horror and writing trickled in. The’s not really important, though. What is important is that I recent covered a news story where a deceased man’s penis has apparently went missing?

How does that happen? How does a deceased man lose his penis?

I have no clue, but I think it would be interesting for a quick piece of flash fiction. Consider this a writing prompt challenge. Write what you think happened down below in the comments section, and it’ll be shared on a the Deadman’s Tome podcast.

Favorite Zombie Movie and Why?

Some say zombie movies are overrated and overplayed. As much as I enjoy watching brain-eaters wasted away by a barrage of gun fire, I have to admit that perhaps they’re right. But that doesn’t meant that there aren’t a few titles that standout and become our go to favorites, right?

So, I ask you, what are your favorite zombie movies and why?

Too Soon?

With mass shootings increasing in frequency, I wonder if Mr. Deadman Made Me Do It was a bit too soon.

What do I mean?

One of my favorite stories in the collection is about a fictional Mr. Deadman (need to stress that for legal reasons) that talks a basement dwelling incel into shooting up a school.

Now, hold on before you rage quit this post. The story has a twist at the end. A nice pay off that makes things nice.

But this is not the first time Deadman’s Tome has published controversial material. A few years back, we featured a story about a girl that rampaged through a school, leaving behind a trail of dead bodies.

That story is called A Corpse Can’t Laugh by Salem Martin and G. B. Holly

We received negative responses about that story back then, and that leaves me to believe that it is only a matter of time before the soccer moms start coming out of theeir vans for this one.

But let me ask you, what do you think?

Did Mr. Deadman Made Me Do It go too far, or not far enough?

Check it out for yourself and leave a comment below.

How Much of a Freak is Jimmy Buffett?

Deadman’s Tome Freak Show asks the tough question: how much of a freak (sometimes asshole) is the subject in question. We’ve covered Marilyn Manson, DarkSydePhil, and even Japanese Game Shows. Now, it’s time to look at Jimmy Buffett

Horror Match-up: Chucky VS Trump

Talk around town is that there is a killer doll rampaging through the ghettos of Detroit. Rumor has it that the doll intends to make his way to the White House to put his soul into the president of the United States, but how does he get there, and what would Trump do as reports of his approach comes in?

Chucky VS Donald J Trump:
