This is a Horror Anthology.

What are we looking for? Let’s equate it to the red-headed stepchild of the family.

What does that mean? It means we’re looking for stories of horror that may be perceived as a bit odd or different from the rest. Tales that take two steps to the left of normal instead of one. Peculiar yarns just bizarre enough to straddle the line.

We’re not just looking for odd – we’re looking for good stories with a unique spin. No horror trope is too tired for this one as long as it’s strange enough to grab our attention.

Intrigue us with your eccentric imaginings, and we may adopt your tale as a part of our family of offerings.
