OPEN SUBMISSIONS: The Sirens Call – Issue 43 ‘WiHM10’ | #Horror #OpenCall #ReprintsWelcome #fiction

February is Women in Horror Month, and each year we celebrate by dedicating our February issue to all women, all horror!

For the 43rd issue of The Sirens Call eZine, we’re looking for stories and prose of horror or dark fiction written by women only (sorry guys – April is just around the corner).

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.
• You must be a woman to submit.
• It must be primarily horror/dark fiction.
• Don’t break our set-in-stone taboos – NO pedophilia, NO bestiality, and NO descriptive rape scenarios.

Ladies, let’s make the women of the horror genre proud and give them an eZine packed with talent, creative work, and chills! Not so hard, right?

Send us your horror pieces, and if they qualify, we’ll make sure about 35,000 people have the chance to read them!
