About

We’re looking for stories. Scary stories! Stories that get under the skin. Stories that stay with you and come back to haunt you once the lights go off. We’re looking for new horrors. 21st Century horrors that reflect the way we live now. We want you to reinvent the genre – reimagine the nightmare. And the modern world isn’t short of inspiration. …sorry, it’s hard not to get dramatic when thinking of horror fiction. Fun though! I’m sure you get it – horror, but make it new. Though we’re not afraid of you conjuring the old masters for a bit of help.
