Sub Genres: All / surprise us, Literary

We enjoy stories that are experimental, impactful, and original. Can you make us laugh? Can you make us cry? Can you scare us? If you can write a good story, we want to publish it. Please note that while we generally prefer literary fiction to genre fiction, we are willing to publish anything that is well-written. Stories that blend multiple genres are especially welcome. If you’re not sure if your work qualifies, send it to us anyway and we’ll let you know.

Nonfiction - 3000 words max

Max words: 3000

Do you have a true story that is weird, funny, fucked up, touching, or all of the above? We want to see it. We prefer stories where stuff actually happens, so don’t send us any poor-little-rich-boy dirges about how life as a trust-funder in the Hamptons is so rough. We want the kinds of epic, hilarious stories you’d tell a friend after two beers on a Friday night, or deeply moving experiences of triumph and woe.

Poetry

Max pieces: 3

We like all kinds of poetry at Terror House Magazine, from freeform stanzas you can belt out at an open mic night to stuff that rhymes (sometimes).

Terror House Magazine also publishes book, movie/TV, music, and video game reviews. However, we’re looking for depth and thoroughness in our criticism. Don’t just say that you like something: tell us why you like it. Analyze its themes and symbols, delve into its history, present your own theories. At the same time, don’t treat it like homework: make it funny and engaging. If you can tell a narrative about what you’re reviewing, even better.
