Theme: Betrayed! Banished from sanctuary. Left for dead. A knife in the back. Deceit and bloodshed. The focus of this issue is Survival. Whether the character is thrown out an airlock in the void of space, left on a deserted island to rot, bamboozled and beaten by so-called friends, or brutally betrayed by loved ones – we want to see how they handle the situation for the better. Or the worst.

Theme: Clandestine Government experiment escapes. Deep inside S4, the dormant spacecraft awakes. In the Montauk Facilities, children disappear and experiments begin. Secret Moonbase occupants slaughtered by a malevolent spirit. Let your imagination run wild but it must be a story worth being CLASSIFIED!

Theme: Cyberpunk city where the rich prey on the poor. Post-Apocalyptic, war-ravaged, lands where fresh new horrors terrorize the survivors of man. Alternate history where an evil dictator rules with an iron fist! Maybe some zombies. Let your imagination run wild as you write for our next issue:  DYSTOPIA!

Theme: In the nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh, a Great Old One awakes, a foolish priest reads from the long forgotten Necronomicon, tentacles writhe as the maddening horror slithers through The Gate, the time for The Old Ones to rule has come again. Issue 5: ELDRITCH!

Theme: Fangs! The rabid dog terrorizing the neighborhood. The swarm of rats overruning the city. The massive reptile tormenting the campers at the lake. Think Jaws, think Cujo, think Anaconda or even Snakes on a Plane! If it is thirsty for blood, has FANGS, and you have a story about it, we want to read it!
