Send your brutal, hilarious, sexy stories. Make them test our boundaries, but make the sex and violence necessary. Basically, we want a good story not just gore porn.


In The Veins is a splatterpunk zine that delves into the realms of horror, pushing boundaries to explore the darker facets of human nature. The magazine seeks stories that are brutal, hilarious, and sexy, emphasizing the necessity of sex and violence within the narrative. They prioritize well-developed characters and strong dialogue over gratuitous gore. The zine defines splatterpunk as a blend of social commentary and literary rebellion, aiming to leave readers in a state of discomfort that prompts introspection. They are particularly interested in works from the LGBTQA+ community and welcome diverse voices. Submission guidelines include flash fiction up to 500 words, short stories up to 3,000 words, poems, articles about horror and splatterpunk, and horror-themed art. While the publication is currently non-paying, they hope to offer compensation in the future. All copyrights remain with the creators, but authors grant In The Veins the first publication right on the internet and the right to include their work in print journals or anthologies released by the zine.
