@necksnapmag
Issue Two subs closed. Horror lit mag with a love for Gothic haunts, body horror, strong experimental voices, & even stronger characters. EIC @jhanleywrites.
SUBS CLOSED & reading is underway! thank you to all you ghouls who submitted 🖤
absolutely bonkers to say this but our submissions for this issue are almost t r i p l e the subs from our last issue... y'all are popping off
your reminder that subs close Sunday night so go ahead’n bleed out of your eyes and wipe it on a word doc for us if you’re feeling raunchy this weekend
we have officially hit dOUBLE the submission count of our previous issue 👁️👄👁️ five more days to submit your goblin scrolls to our digital cave of oracles
for the record, no matter how many times it’s said and no matter how pervasive it becomes in robotspeak — you can pry my em-dashes from the crumbling dust of my skeleton fingers only after empires have fallen and language has been reinvented twice over
decisions have been/will be trickling out as we near the close of our submission period — just know, if you get rejected, that I am a mere yarn-collecting bridge troll and you have only to take the right roads to find the troll-riddle your words will be the answer to
#FF Insurance Nerd Day. To celebrate, give some ❤️ and a follow to these publications in the lit community that begin with “I” or “N”: @InfestedPub @necksnapmag @InShortLit @nightboatbooks @intrepidusink @nightforestpres @IseleMagazine @NocturneMag
Don't start at the beginning. Don't explain. Don't state the obvious unless hearing the obvious would electroshock our slimy hearts into a new heaving pulse. Don't breathe. Tell us what the panic sounds like. Don't start with a cliché unless you really plan to mangle it.
HOW TO WRITE A KILLER OPENING: THRASH AND SWEAT. BALANCE TEA CUPS IN A MOVING CAR. WHISPER. THREATEN. PLEAD. DECIPHER A MESSAGE FROM RADIO STATIC. DIG FOR GRUBS. FLING MUD. CHEW YOUR NAILS. PUT AN ANIMAL ON THE PAGE THAT WOULD DIE WITH YOU IF IT WASN’T WRITTEN DOWN.
