About

Are you new to writing Horror Fiction? Have you published a few times, here and there, but still feel like you’re spinning your wheels? You are not alone: the publishing industry is vast, and can be a frustrating place for brand new storytellers. That is why DeadLights Horror Fiction Magazine would like to present: Shotgun Horror Clips! A digital e-zine that is free to the public, Shotgun Horror Clips allows authors to practice their craft and reach out to new audiences as we can hyperlink within the digital magazine to any source you choose. Our goal is to allow the horror community at large to interact with your story, and give you feedback; to start a dialogue between new author and new readers.
