Strange & Dark Fantasy Since 1923...

Open for Submissions

Apologies for the delay, folks.

Marvin is ready to read again!

Our third issue will be themed “The Undead.” We seek bizarre takes on zombies, revenants, and other yet-undiscovered living dead creatures. We doubt that something weird can still be done with vampires, but perhaps you can figure it out.

Of course, we are still interested in eclectic weird stories. Check the submissions page for details.

    Is there any payment offered for those who submit stories for these issues?
    Nothing’s specified in the guidelines.

    Hi Shashank, we currently offer 3 cents a word for most fiction. We hope to go up in the near future.

    Can we submit for more than one themed issue at a time, or should we only send one story at a time?

    You can submit more than one story, and wait a few weeks for a response. Thanks for all the stories!

    What format requirements are there for the submission e-mail? For example, are there any requirements for the subject line, or in the body of the e-mail?
