Appalling Limericks A project of Sam's Dot Publishing (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Sam's Dot Publishing now is accepting submissions for a new illustrated poetrybook in the genres of FANTASY, SCIENCE FICTION, and HORROR -- a collection of limericks, titled "Appalling Limericks." It is to be published in our illustrated chapbook format. And keep in mind that we don't necessarily mean anything by "appalling." We want quality material...funny, bawdy, strange, off-beat. "Appalling" is simply our marketing title.
