Your mission is to tell their tales in the most horrific and terrifying way possible. We want stories that linger long after the holiday ends. Stories, that will send our readers to their therapists. We want horrors of such magnitude, that they make our eyes bleed!

Give us your best, and make history in an anthology that will traumatize readers for years to come!
