Accepted So Far
Kfir and I thought you might be interested in what we’ve accepted so far — in addition to these, we are sending out several requests for revisions that may or may not turn into acceptances. And we’re still reading!
The stories we’ve accepted so far vary quite a bit in theme, setting, and style. A few things they all share, however, is a tightly written narrative, a distinctive voice, and an unexpected take on our theme of horror-by-daylight.
The following is a list of the stories we’ve accepted to date, in no particular order. It’s not a table of contents.
- J.H. Heluk — The Wish Man and the Worm — A child’s fears may assume disturbing face. A bizarre tale of surreal horror.
- John Jasper Owens — And the Crowd Goes Wild — Being successful may be scary. An action-filled story of the future.
- Mark Rigney — Customs — Getting stuck in more than one way. A claustrophobically disturbing tale of travel.
- Trent Roman — The Heat Has Fangs — Your enemy may be closer than you think. A chatty but weird reminiscence of times past.
- Scott Brendells — Ataraxia — Nowhere left to go. A quiet tragedy set in a grim future.
- Davin Ireland — Carrington Cove — Utter, dark, and inescapable despair. A storm-tossed narrative of obsession.
- Aaron Polson — Sea of Green, Sea of Gold — The beautiful and sunny can be deadly. High-noon horror.
- E. C. Hudson — Sands of Time — Scary things may be not bad, after all. An understated and wistful reflection on life.
- Rob E. Boley — Companion — The stories we tell ourselves can be misleading. A horrifying tale of dependence.
- Gregory Miller — Miss Riley’s Lot — Longevity can be scary. A disturbing urban legend.
We’re still accepting submissions, so don’t hesitate to send us your most original, standout stories of 2,500-5,000 words. Remember — we’re looking for supernatural/monstrous horror that takes place in the bright light of day!
