Monstroddities Anthology MATURE CONTENT

A project of Sliced Up Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2021). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Sliced Up Press is looking for short stories & poetry involving obscure creatures and phenomena for its third horror fiction anthology, Monstroddities, edited by Ben Walker. Terrify us with your best story or poem about monsters or unexplained occurrences that are rarely used in horror. Think cryptids, long-forgotten myths, melt monsters…phenomena like spontaneous combustion, dark matter, physical impossibilities – if you’ve ever wondered why there isn’t more horror about a particular thing, that’s what we’d like to see – the weirder the better. Set it in the present, the past, the future, on Earth or not – as long as it’s frightening.
