Vault of Shadows
Description
Note: one submission per author.
Do you love old-school horror comics? Think Tales from the Crypt, Haunt of Fear, Vault of Horror, etc. We want to work with you to adapt your short story (original stories and reprints welcome) into a comic
Really dig in to your experience with horror comics. Visual stories full of gore, body horror, over-the-top characters, and dramatic irony with brutal, sometimes ironic, sometimes comical endings are the way to go, but don’t shy away from more modern themes.

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.
