Uncharted Magazine Horror Challenge
Description
We’re seeking stories that speak to and challenge conventional horror tropes to frighten and thrill our avid twenty-first-century readers. We hope this challenge will inspire you to create new monsters, make the shadows tremble, and communicate a wave of innovative phobias—things we didn’t even know we should be afraid of. We encourage genre-blending and writing stories with dynamic characters and fresh language.
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.
This market charges a fee of $20.00 to submit.
