Haunted Holidays Submission

Fill out the form below to submit your literary work for consideration to be published as part of a limited series called Haunted Holidays

The series will commence on December 1st, highlighting one feature every day.

All literary pieces should embrace the dark side of the winter holiday season, and all that’s lurking in the shadows of Christmas merriment. Their themes should be haunted by Krampus, Grýla & Leppalúði, The Yule Lads, The Yule Cat, Belsnickel, Frau Perchta, Hans Trapp, Christmas ghosts, or evil Christmas gnomes.

We look forward to your DARK holiday submissions!

Please make sure that the submission is theme specific. NO HALLOWEEN or MERRY CHRISTMAS submissions. For all other themes please use our standard submission form or Christmas submission form. Submissions due date is 11/04/24. Maximum 1 submission per writer.
