(May 2020) About Understanding the struggles every new writer encounters to find a platform for their work, we wanted a place where emerging authors in these well-loved and popular genres could go to showcase and market their talent. At the same time, we want to build a killer magazine where fans of these genres can always find well-written, edge-of-their-seat mysteries and the creepy tales they crave penned by unique and inspired lovers of the craft. We know that there are many talented writers and fantastic stories out there just waiting to find a home. We want to be that place.
