About

We want to fill this anthology with your incredible stories — your slow burners, your creeping dread, your atmospheric hauntings, unexplained events, and unsettling characters.
Mood over gore. Chills over spatter.
Give us existential angst, psychology laid bare, emotional resonance, and grief. Give us trauma manifested as a weird presence in the woods, troubled narrators descending into mania, and Gothic locations with tragedy chiselled into every stone.
We want glimpses of terror, shadows of ungodly things lurking in the fog. We want uncanny animals, unreliable narrators and unwelcome visitors.
Introduce us to seances and spirits, dwellers on the threshold, monsters half-imagined in the fuzzy dim of twilight. Show us the invisible things that chased you up the stairs when you were young.
