We invite horror authors (18+) to submit original short stories that delve into:
Ghosts, hauntings, and restless spirits
The eerie beauty and decay of death

Mourning rituals, graveyards, spiritualism, and the macabre
Anything that captures the delicate line between death and what comes after

Tone & Style:
We are especially drawn to stories with rich atmosphere, emotional depth, and a strong sense of place. Think fog-drenched cemeteries, whispered séances, black crepe, and the quiet horror of something not quite at rest.
👻
