With that said, if you’ve been wanting to have your work read by an audience of dedicated horror fans, this is your chance! We want to review stories from writers of all levels. If you’re professional, we want to hear from you! If you’ve just written your very first story ever, we absolutely want to read it.
We are open to horror stories of all kinds, including ghost stories, original Creepypastas, Horror IRL experiences, cultural legends, paranormal accounts, crime fiction, horror poetry, and anything else you consider to be horror fiction.
