Weird Horror mag opens next Saturday for a brief 2-week reading period. Please read the guidelines. Most queries I receive are already answered there. We receive around 1,000 subs each period, with room for 32k to 34k of fiction. Simul subs always welcome! undertowpublications.com/weird-horror...

FICTION GUIDELINES

OPENS: March 2, 2024

CLOSES: March 15, 2024

We are seeking horror and weird fiction from 500 to 5,000 words, firm.  Query first if your story is over 5,000 words. We are a home for the strange, the macabre, the eerie, the esoteric, the fabulist, and the gothic. The darkly numinous. The odd.  We are not interested in extreme horror. Do not send science fiction or fantasy.

We’ve published established professional authors Brian Evenson, John Langan, M. Rickert, Steve Rasnic Tem, and more. But we are also very supportive of emerging writers, and have twice published first-time authors.

Please send 1 story only per reading period. 

NOTE - We are not considering stories written, co-written, created, or assisted by AI and machine-learning languages such as ChatGPT. Please do not send them.
