Liminal Tales



Description
Limited Demographic: authors of Britain

A liminal tale can roughly be described as horror, but it’s not the horror of an axe murder or a

giant monster with teeth and claws...

A liminal tale is coming home to find that everything you own has been replaced with an exact copy.

It’s not quite knowing what is real and what isn’t.

It’s a world out of shape, where the rules of reality have changed.
It’s discovering that the past is far from gone and the present is just a dream.

It can be chilling and scary, but also playful.

There may be a giant monster if it’s the guy from ‘Where’s Wally?’ (real submission)

Perhaps a funny story will turn nasty or a nasty story turn funny.

Whether your story elicits a gasp of horror or an uncomfortable laugh, if it straddles the line and

tightropes over the uncanny valley, we want to hear it!
