Two men with empty eyes and a floating triangle with tentacles between them as a call photo for Cosmic Horror Monthly

COSMIC HORROR MONTHLY:

-Weird and cosmic fiction


SUBMISSION WINDOW(S):

Jan 1-7

July 1-7


WORDCOUNT:

Under 5k


PAYMENT:

3 cents per word




WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR:

We believe that the horror genre’s diversity is its greatest strength, and we wish that viewpoint to be reflected in our story content and submission queues. We are especially interested in hearing from those whose voices are underrepresented in the cosmic/weird. If comfortable, feel free to drop this information in your cover letter.


We strongly favor stories that use contemporary narrative styles. 


PLEASE DON'T SEND


We do not take any work that used AI in its creation, work that uses established genre tropes in a standard way, and queries. Work written in an antiquated, Lovecraftian style is a hard sell. 


Prose Poetry and other types of fiction with unique formatting/spacing are not a good match due to the print layout of the magazine.

No


MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS?

No


SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS?

Simultaneous submissions are allowed, but please withdraw immediately upon acceptance elsewhere.
