About

Horror, too often, has been thought of as the non-thinking genre, home of the “monsters in the dark” with little to offer in terms of depth. MoCon defies that image of the genre. Its themes so far have covered spirituality, race, gender issues, art, and love. So what am I looking for? Smart, literate stories that fit in with any of the themes of MoCon. Stories with depth, that stretch the genre. Stories that make you think, that comment on the human condition and the social order. Stories that are rich in their language use. However, a s much as I love social commentary, don’t forget to entertain me.
