About

The Fog Horn publishes four fictional short stories a month, from Hollywood writers and new voices. Our stories are perfect for the modern reader: curated, engaging and consumable. And funny. And scary. Anything's possible! We think you'll like our magazine. We like to write and we like to read, and we think they're both pretty important for the survival of the human race. As Ray Bradbury said: "It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid."
