Calling all poetry authors AND artists!

We're stepping outside of the box here and trying something new. We're calling on poets and artists this time to help us craft an illustrated poetry anthology. Give us your limericks, sonnets, haiku, ballads, and free-verse! Have visual poetry? EVEN BETTER. We want grim, gothic, morbidly funny, terrifying works.

Your poetry submission:

  • should be 150 lines (not words) max
  • horror centric
  • any form of poetry is allowed
  • multiple submissions allowed

Your art submission:

  • color or black/white (a color edition is tentatively planned)
  • various sizes/dimensions considered
  • submit as jpg, tiff, png, or pdf
  • multiple submissions allowed
  • NO GENERATIVE AI ART OF ANY KIND.


Est. publication date:
July 2025
Compensation (written work): .02c/word
Compensation (artwork): $75

Because of the rarity of horror poets, submissions will remain open until we feel we've received a good pool to select from.
