Call for Stories: Day Terrors
Shapes in the shadows, bumps in the night, creatures that stalk the stygian darkness … wimps!
Hell, even my sofa can be scary at night.
Real horror stands up to the unforgiving light of day. Real monsters aren’t afraid to be seen in sunlight. Real fear is standing there and watching the impossible unfold right before your eyes in the harsh glare of the afternoon sun.
DAY TERRORS is looking for atmospheric horror stories set in broad daylight and featuring the chilling, the supernatural, the grotesque, the creepy, and the unheimlich. It is looking for once-familiar people and places that suddenly aren’t what they seem, eerie coincidences that turn reality inside-out, and commonplace events that take on uncanny overtones.
Day-walking vampires, weresalarymen, zombie grandmothers, carnivorous babies, serial-killer schoolgirls, mundane murderers and any sort of dream, hallucination, or virtual reality need not apply.
