Description
Limited Demographic: LGBTQIA+ voices, neurodiverse voices, female voices, BIPOC voices, disabled voices, and any other identities who don’t feel adequately represented within the horror genre

› (s)crawl magazine publishes thought-provoking horror writing that lingers long after it is read. we seek stories and poems that are psychologically and/or emotionally complex and do not rely on extreme or gratuitous violence. (read more on this in our “what we’re looking for” and “what we don’t accept” sections)

› we seek work that explores social, cultural, and personal horror—think of narratives that unsettle on a deeply emotional or intellectual level.

› some examples of our favorite subgenres are psychological horror, supernatural horror, gothic horror, folk horror, existential horror, surreal horror, and body horror.
