The editorial team at Tales to Terrify are proud that they have curated the best short horror fiction from established and emerging writers, and then turned each story into simple, spine-tingling audio. They always want stories and encourage writers ‘to challenge the definition of horror. Standard tropes and monsters are welcome, but give us your own unique take’. Avoid ‘the cliche and expected,’ but ‘Drag us deep into the unsettling atmosphere of a crumbling Gothic mansion. Show us the gritty, real-world horrors of evil people with dark intentions. Make our blood run cold and our breath catch in our throats as we’re hunted by ravenous creatures. Unhinge our minds with reality-bending, psychological horrors. Make us feel the pain and sorrow of a long-suffering spirit.’
In other words give them terrifying tales. Please note that ‘Anything is allowed as long as it’s wellconceived and well-written, but avoid gratuitous sex, gore, violence, and no intolerance’. Listen to the podcasts get a taste of what is wanted.
