Publishing to begin at a time to be determined at a later date. Deadlines will be extended as needed, based on date of participation onset. No limit to the number of contributions to the series, but only one book per month for authors contributing more than a single work.
 
Numbers are allowed if only in relation to a continuing publication. IE: Death of John Doe I (Asylum Stories), Death of John Doe II (Asylum Stories).​​
We ask that the contract be signed within 24-48 hours of joining the group. If you need time for the fee, we are willing to consider requests on an individual basis. Please contact us to discuss options.
 
You are responsible for publishing your book on time by the 6th of each month you choose to publish in. You retain all rights and royalties to your book. Our participation contract can be found on the website. 
​
​This series has no end date like anthologies do, so you would leave the book up indefinitely. The participation fee covers your entry fee and book cover that will be created by our designated designer. 
 
We will not be asking for part of your royalties or rights, you retain them ALL. Just make sure that you or your publisher has the book up and available on the publishing date, as previously stated. Pre-orders ARE allowed. IF YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE A BLOG TOUR ADD-ON, PRE-ORDER WILL BE REQUIRED (extenuating circumstances will be considered).
 
Your story must:
  • feature a silhouette inside a rundown room (see above examples); we do have a small album of options prepared of abandoned asylum/building images
  • categorize as horror
  • be titled whatever the serial killer's nickname is (IE: The Toolbox Killer, The Pin Up Doll Killer, etc.)
  • be from the point of view of the serial killer, who dies at the end when they're transferred from police custody to the "special" floor where the staff are Angels of Death.
  • feature the panel of judges (Angels of Death), who ask the serial killer to tell their story and confess to all their crimes, which is different from that told by the police when they're caught. If the serial killer cooperates, their death is swift and easy. If they are difficult, their death is painful/torturous. 
  • be featured in Mercy Hall, the asylum.
  • be linked to all other stories in the series on Amazon. This means you will be required to publish on Amazon, but are not limited to just that platform.

NOTE: ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS MAY BE STATED UPON ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT. 
 
The ladies behind the scenes that run INDIE/pendent Book Services are Kristen and Rachel. Feel free to reach out to us individually if you have questions or message our business page.
Series Details
ANGELS OF DEATH:
Doctor Lector: Mid-Fifties, gray eyes, salt and pepper hair with a receding hairline and large, bottlecap glasses (think 80's), has a little weight around the middle, always wears a suit and tie, jacket unbuttoned, button up shirt tucked in and belt with large belt buckle with a stallion on it, sweats a lot
Nurse Langley: Overweight brunette with yellowed teeth, chain smokes inside the asylum, brown eyes, wears her hair in a tight bun with sharpened chopsticks crisscrossed through it, prefers to wear baby blue scrubs, always has food stains on her scrub top, her shoes squeak while she walks
Nurse Becca: Former runway model with rich, red hair and green eyes, insists on wearing high heel pumps and dresses that hug every curve, likes the smell of blood, should probably be considered one of the serial killers except that she doesn't kill, just gets off on the stories
Orderly Jim: Short, potbellied, dark hair and dark eyes, thick moustache, Italian, likes to show his curly chest hair, wears a heavy gold chain necklace and rings on every finger on his right hand, constantly chewing gum that makes his breath smell like rotten fish and peppermint, looks at himself in every mirror he passes
Orderly Jane: blonde and freckled, hazel eyes, plain and average weight, timid, always wears a retro nurse cap even though she's not a nurse, constantly talks to her dead husband, kleptomaniac
​Security Guard Tim: former military, very muscular, shaves and waxes his head until it shines, sports a landing strip goatee as black as his eyes, smells like cedarwood and aftershave, carries a gun without bullets as a security blanket, secretly in love with Orderly Jane, whistles a lot, pretends to be a devout Catholic
Security Guard Brad: black hair with plum colored lowlights, silver blue eyes, wears his hair like a K-Pop artist, has a skinny beard that runs only along his jawline, would wear dark aviators at night if he could, slender but tall, has a pair of handcuffs on his belt, in his car, and stashed at the front desk just in case he needs to use them for...other reasons, wears pants a size too small and likes to grab himself in front of Doctor Lector
