Cabinet 13 is an independent horror zine with visions of becoming a full-service press. Cabinet 13 publishes horror fiction, less than 3,500 words, around a new theme each issue. 

We are an indie, female-owned and -operated digital zine with big dreams. 

Horror is our passion. We are open-minded, experimental, and if it has the right vibe, we are willing to take it to our audience. 

We believe authors are true craftsmen and before paying ourselves, we pay our authors. 

Collaboration, compassion, and community are our brand values, and growing a supportive and active community around our readers and authors is our top priority.
