The Daily Tourniquet This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2010) About The Daily Tourniquet is seeking all kinds of horror stories told in every kind of medium. We want storytelling, pure and simple, and we don’t care how its done, as long as you spook, creep, chill the hell out of us. Country of Publication Unknown location Publication Medium & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationUnknown publication frequency Collapse section Fiction Believed Defunct What do we want? Anything that has a horror element. Sex, Drugs, and Gore is more than okay, as long as it isn’t for Sex, Drugs, and Gore’s sake. Humor is okay too, as long as it leaves us simultaneously creeped out. The plan is to do a splatterpunk story one day, and physocological thriller the next, and then one about canibalistic alien vampires the day after that. Send me your best of whatever you got, as long as something about it is horror.Audience:UnknownGenres: Horror Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Extreme Horror, Psychological, SupernaturalLengths: Flash Fiction: Up to 1,000 words.
