About NECKSNAP Magazine is an online literary horror magazine. Founded in 2024, our magazine arrives in the midst of a years-long renaissance in horror cinema. Our goal is to continue fostering that spirit in the literary space by offering a home for experimentation and exploration in the genre. Submissions can range from grunge to gothic, but in every case, we want stories that push toward the stylistic edges, and that do so in service of exploring the deeper humanity of the characters and of ourselves.
