About

So many of God's creatures have been used to gruesome, horrifying effect over the decades - rats, spiders, giant centipedes (HBB's very own 'Pede!), crabs, rabbits, frogs, slugs, worms, myriad members of the insect class, and so many, many more... Our challenge is for you to create something wholly unique using creatures that have been featured before, those who have not recieved a mention thus far (killer koalas, anyone?), or some hideous, creature of your won design - which ever way you choose, make it blood-curdling, terrifying, and as scary as Hell!

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
