Whispers of Wickedness

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Whispers is not genre specific, but seeks to present fiction that is ‘dark and atmospheric’, though this need not preclude humour. Stories about anything can be submitted, but those about the edges of human behaviour and human experience do seem best fitted. Work that is under 2000 words in length and previously unpublished will be automatically considered for both the website and print-zine unless the author instructs us otherwise. Reprints considered for website only.
