We’re launching a print magazine! Monstrous will contain comics, prose fiction, and articles.

FLASH FICTION

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Horror Flash Fiction for the first issue, to be published later this year. There’s no theme, but we do like monsters, pulp, and classic horror films. Focus should be on fast-paced entertaining stories. We’ll take a limited amount of fantasy, but make it dark and action packed. No science fiction or detective fiction.

• Payment: 6 cents a word

• Length: 1000 to 2000 words

• Submission Period: June 29, 2023 – July 27, 2023

• Email full stories to james[at]monstrousbooks.com and use this format for the subject heading: Monstrous Flash – Title – Author Name. (If this isn’t correct, we may delete without reading. With the number of submissions we get, things get confusing without the proper heading.) Include a short bio in your email.

• Use Classic Shunn formatting.

SHORT COMICS

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Finished black-and-white horror comics from 1 to 8 pages. We are NOT looking for scripts. We’ll take a look at pitches, but you should have a creative team already in place

• Submission Period: Open now until further notice.

• Payment: $125 a page.

• Size: Digest magazine, 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

• Email submissions to james[at]monstrousbooks.com and use this format for the subject heading: Monstrous Comics – Title – Author Name. Include a short bio in your email.
