We are open for submissions all year long. 

Writers, please read what we publish first before making your submission. We want supernatural fiction, yes. But we do not want adult content. Please understand the genre of supernatural horror before submitting, which includes the afterlife, the Devil, demonic possession, and related themes. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, witches, and other creatures are acceptable, as they are a long-held tradition of the genre. If your manuscript is rejected please try again. 

Artists, we want to see your best works of the supernatural and anything with a retro horror vibe. Do not submit images of adult content.  

There is no pay for your submissions. We are a fanzine and publish our content out of love for the genre. Creators submitting to us should do so out of that same love.

Review: Max Series ‘Salem’s Lot A Reimagining That Haunts and Thrills

  by Fiona Vale As the first week of October settles in and we prepare ourselves for the haunting season, Max's new series adaptation of Stephen King's seminal horror novel “Salem's Lot” arrives, promising a fresh take on the 1970s classic. Premiering on October 3, 2024, this version of Salem's Lot offers a contemporary spin on King's tale of vampiric terror and small-town dread, yet it retains the core elements that made the original miniseries a defining piece of television horror.

The letter was written in a fine, flowing script and hinted at an enigmatic woman, Cassandra Ravenscroft, who might hold the key to Dracula’s persistent resurrection. Intrigued and alarmed, Van Helsing had set out to investigate. The Ravenscroft estate lay on the outskirts of London, an imposing Gothic mansion surrounded by twisted, leafless trees and cloaked in a perpetual gloom. It was a relic from another time,
