Welcome to the web site of Rampant Loon Press,
a small Midwestern publishing house dedicated to the seemingly radical proposition
that if we produce high-quality work, conduct our business dealings in
an open and ethical manner, and treat authors as we ourselves would wish to be treated,
it just might be possible to build a successful publishing business
without begging for foundation grants,
genuflecting before sponsors and advertisers,
becoming the house press of some religious or political advocacy group,
or publishing work we would be embarrassed to have our children or parents read.

STUPEFYING STORIES is our current premiere project.
It's a monthly direct-to-ebook original short-story series,
edited by award-winning author Bruce Bethke,
that strives to bring the freshest new fiction
by the brightest new talents directly to your ebook reader, tablet, or mobile device.
Whether your interest is science fiction, mystery, humor, horror, or something
else still too new to have a name, you'll find it in STUPEFYING STORIES.

Are you a Stupefying Storyteller?
To be honest, for the past few weeks we've been putting all our time and energy
into getting STUPEFYING STORIES proper off the ground, so the web work has taken
a back seat. While we're waiting to get the dedicated STUPEFYING STORIES
web site up and running, the StupefyingStories.com URL is being redirected here.
This is a temporary arrangement. But until STUPEFYING STORIES grows up
enough to move out and get a place of its own, we'll all just have to try to get along now,
won't we?
We want to stress that STUPEFYING STORIES is an OPEN MARKET for
original fiction, and we move at Internet speed.
If you're a writer and want to submit a story or send
a query to us, contact us at: submissions [at] rampantloonmedia [dot] com,
or see our Submission
Guidelines and FAQ for more information.
