Additional info
We publish dark sci-fi and sci-fi/horror exclusively, and if you write in either of these genres, we encourage you to submit. For dark sci-fi, think BLACK MIRROR, DUNE, THE INVISIBLE MAN, ROBOCOP, THE RUNNING MAN, THE MATRIX, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, THE X-FILES. For sci-fi/horror, think ALIEN(S), JURASSIC PARK, PREDATOR, THE FLY, THE TERMINATOR, THE THING, THEY LIVE. Cosmic horror, weird fiction, sci-fi thriller, and cyberpunk are some of our favorite sub-genres. In our opinion, the alchemy of science fiction and horror has produced some of the best art in the past few decades. Pay Rate: $0.08/word for original work $0.02/word for reprint, paid prior to publication. Reprints: Yes. We publish one reprint per issue. Multiple Submissions: Kind of. Our submission system will only allow for one submission from you at a time. If your story is rejected, please feel free to submit again.
