About

2 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

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.

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.
