Once again, we’re rolling around to the most wonderful time of the year – Halloween!
For the 41st issue of The Sirens Call eZine, we’re looking for your best creepy stories, bone-chilling poems, and horror-riddled prose. Seasonal or not, we’re always looking for good dark fiction, or works of straight-up horror to include.
Your piece can be creepy, sullen, emotive, freaky, elegant, bizarre, have a dark-humor edge to it, or be flat out scary as hell!
The basic rules:
- Write the piece well.
- It must be primarily horror/dark fiction.
- Don’t break our set-in-stone taboos – NO pedophilia, NO bestiality, and NO descriptive rape scenarios.
Send us your horror pieces, and if they qualify, we’ll make sure about 35,000 people have the chance to read them!
