About

In the desolate landscapes of Utah (or, in fact, any real or fictional place you choose), a bizarre phenomenon unfolds as thousands of tumbleweeds amass, engulfing residential yards, barricading buildings, and rendering roads impassable.
But these tumbleweeds are not mere botanical oddities; they harbour an ominous secret.
We invite speculative fiction and horror writers to explore the sinister depths of this phenomenon.
