We like sci-fi, dark fantasy, and horror, though you’ll find we skew mostly horror. Give us your monsters, your ghosts, your psychological thrillers, your paranormal mysteries, your demon-possessions, your outer-space terrors, your cosmic entities, your dystopian futures, your dystopian present-days, your counter-earths, your political nightmares, your literal nightmares, your rips in the space-time continuum. Just make us shudder with horror and delight. Also, if yours is a voice that has been traditionally underrepresented in these genres, we’d especially like to hear from you.
