SPOOKY Magazine Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2025). We provide the following information as an archive. We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About SPOOKY is a new fiction magazine in the old style. We’re horror with a gentler touch. Fans of the genre already know that creepy stuff can be fun. We’re here to prove it to the rest of the world. “Thrills and chills” is the tradition we aim to mine in this publication. Think of things like penny dreadfuls of the Victorian era, pulp magazines of the 30s and 40s, pre-code comics of the 50s and you’ll begin to understand where our minds are at. Take it even further with crackling transmissions of Lights Out on the radio, Universal monsters duking it out on the big screen, Hitchcock’s droll wit, and Rod Serling shattering minds with darkly ironic twists. We think that in this modern age there is both room and desire for these types of stories to be told again. We would like you to help make that a reality. So grab a mug of your favorite hot beverage, settle into an overstuffed chair, and pull up the blanket. It’s time to get SPOOKY.
