Haunter Review

About

HAUNTER Review was born as a tribute to the shadowed community of horror and alternative writers, those who craft stories from the edges of the dark. HAUNTER Review welcomes short stories, flash fiction, micro fiction, screenplays, poetry, prose, hybrid, and experimental works categorized under the broad umbrella of horror-related genres: psychological, gothic, slasher, body, supernatural—you name it, we want it! We especially value submissions that may be considered "odd" or "too much" by other literary magazines, understanding that horror takes on many shapes and forms. So whether it be a supernatural haunting or vengeful murder spree, we want to see how far your imagination spirals; perhaps HAUNTER Review can give it a home.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
