About

I am looking for anything that instills wonder, awe, horror or the Epic Journey involving NEW MONSTERS. This is the perfect opportunity for creative writers to come up with something so unique it begs to get into this collection. I don’t want new twists involving classic monsters; don’t send me stories about vampires or ghosts, werewolves or zombies. I desire to read about new (never-before-seen) monsters (Novus Creatura) from space as well as creatures already living on our planet, beings that may have existed underground for centuries, or phantoms locked within our psyches. Perhaps the creatures are new only to us, or they may have existed before the foundation of our species. You can describe their creation or make them ambiguous and indecipherable as Lovecraft was wont to do. Again, I’m not looking for new twists on old legends (such as vampires injecting humans with blood instead of siphoning it). I want NEW MONSTOSITIES!
