About

DAY TERRORS is looking for atmospheric horror stories set in broad daylight and featuring the chilling, the supernatural, the grotesque, the creepy, and the unheimlich. It is looking for once-familiar people and places that suddenly aren’t what they seem, eerie coincidences that turn reality inside-out, and commonplace events that take on uncanny overtones.
