Hinnom Magazine Calls For Submissions –Apply
Hinnom Magazine seeks authors who have unique voices, interesting writing styles, and unparalleled storytelling talents. They are looking for stories that fit the themes of Weird Fiction and Cosmic Horror. Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy are all welcomed, as long as they fit in the realms of Weird and Cosmic. All stories must also be speculative in some way. Thus, all horror, science fiction and fantasy must be otherworldly or supernatural in some way. A combination of these genres is also greatly encouraged. Each magazine issue would be released bi-monthly, on the last day of every other month. It is advisable to read previous publications to get an idea of the themes they favour.
