About

Button Eye Review is a literary magazine and an imprint of Ember Chasm Review. We are looking for stories and poetry within the genres of horror, Gothic, dark fantasy, dark science fiction, thriller, crime, and mystery. We want the stories that bury themselves under dead leaves and gravel, the ones you can only find if you go through the locked door, the ones that crawl to disturbed, alienated places and people. To get a sense of what we enjoy, look to the films of Ari Aster, Jordan Peele, and Robert Eggers. We also love the writing of Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Mary Shelley, and Joe Hill, and the video games The Last of Us, Outlast, and Condemned.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
