WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR:

We are seeking poetry and short fiction for this anthology dedicated to cosmic, folk, and religious horror.


We want ancient Gods and deicide. We want your religious trauma. We want monoliths rising in unexplored woodlands. We want visceral depictions of hell, and of those who conjure them.


Works inspired by films such as The VVitch, Suspiria, Mandy, Annihilation, The Void, The Devils Bath, Saint Maud, Midsommar, Colour Out of Space, The Ritual, The Wicker Man.


We want your raw, otherworldly, terrifying pieces of work to leave us feeling bleak and despondent. The weirder and more experimental, the better.


PLEASE DON'T SEND

No splatterpunk. No graphic depictions of sexual assault or gratuitous violence against women, child abuse, or animal abuse. These are hard passes, and we will not accept work that has any of these themes.


REPRINTS?

No


MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS?

1 Short story submission Up to 3 poetry submissions


SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS?

Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if your piece gets accepted elsewhere.
