Over the years, Science has given us many good jumping off points for a horror story; hell, the subject alone provided us with the genre of science fiction. With our technology changing daily as new discoveries and new ideas come to light, its often hard to predict how these cutting edge theories might pan out. That's where you come in...

For each of these concepts we are willing to read up to five submissions before one will be selected for the anthology. Have a look at the list below and email through to us the concept that you wish to write a story about. We will not be able to accept your submission if you have not pre-selected a concept.

Taking Submissions: Trickster’s Treats #2
Deadline: September 14th, 2018 Payment: We will pay $6 (AUD) per story but as this is for charity, rather than payment, we can donate to the chosen charity on your behalf. Submissions now open for the second issue of our annual Halloween magazine (print and digital) - Trickster's Treats - Tales from the Pumpkin Patch #2! We’re after original flash fiction of between 666-1,000 words using one of the themes below. No reprints, thanks! We will pay a nominal fee for this fun fiction-magazine ($6 per story) or if you prefer we can donate your payment to the women's refuge (proof of payment details will be published). You can submit to 1 or more themes, but only 1 story per theme. Note: If sending multiple stories, please send them separately and include the theme in the subject of the email. Themes: There are six themes again this year as listed below, but this time we’ve included some images to give you inspiration. You can of course submit to all six if you want to but please submit each one separately so the trickster doesn’t get confused! As you’d expect for Halloween, I anticipate a bumper crop of submissions as usual, so we’re after memorable stories, a sense of dread, and some level of believability and a quick shudder using between 666-1,000 words. Be inspired by the images, and the theme titles, but don't try to describe what's in the image, or take it too literally. ~ This one is about having fun with the theme and enjoy the challenge - Steve.
