Never Wake
Description
We’re looking for scary,
mind-bending stories featuring dreams,
nightmares, hallucinations, messed-up
psychedelic experiences, and various
elements of phantasmagoria. Think sleep
experiments gone awry and Freddy
Krueger and “This is bat country!” from
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but
maybe the bats are real and maybe they are
vampires? Feel free to bring the weird, the
trippy, and the surreal in large doses.

This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
- It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
- The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
- The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
- The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
