SPOOKY<\/strong>
This is a horror magazine. They have detailed guidelines about the kind of stories they want, including, \u201cCozy horror. Fun horror. Classy horror. Dare we say, wholesome horror? \u2026 perhaps the easiest way to understand what we mean is to read stories by some of the old masters we love: Ray Bradbury, Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Roald Dahl. Watch classic episodes of\u00a0Thriller<\/em>,\u00a0The Twilight Zone<\/em>, and\u00a0Night Gallery<\/em>. Read old horror comics. Listen to radio dramas like\u00a0Suspense<\/em>,\u00a0Quiet, Please<\/em>, and\u00a0Inner Sanctum Mysteries<\/em>. Consume enough vintage horror, and you\u2019ll probably begin to get an idea of the type of thing that\u2019s likely to appeal to us. \u2026 we\u2019re looking to provide a space for a type of storytelling that has largely gone out of style \u2013 dark and scary, but playful and approachable with an emphasis on plot.\u201d They also publish horror haiku. They\u2019ve recently reopened for submissions, and are reading for their third issue.
Deadline: 1 January 2025
Length: Up to 5,000 words for fiction
