Approaching a detachable container.

In the spirit of Halloween (in the USA), here's a hallowed submission opportunity for the frightful writers...

The audio magazine PSEUDOPOD purchases...

"...dark, weird fiction. We run the spectrum from grim realism or crime drama, to magic-realism, to blatantly supernatural dark fantasy. We publish highly literary stories reminiscent of Poe or Lovecraft as well as vulgar shock-value pulp fiction...we do not observe any taboos about what kind of content can appear in our stories. Originality demands that you’re better off avoiding vampires, zombies, and other recognizable horror tropes unless you have put a very unique spin on them. What matters most is that the stories are dark and compelling...We’re looking for fiction with strong pacing, well-defined characters, engaging dialogue, and clear action...we are more interested in tragedy than comedy, and comedy is better received the more sick and morbid it is. Above all, we want stories that make us think, that stick with us, that make us catch ourselves checking the locks a second time before bed."

Whew! Now go and write your dark, weird thing! But first check out their schedule and their guidelines, then submit your written art here!
