The Splatter Club Submissions
Coming August 1st
John McGuiggan
is reading for Rural Exploration Red Line submissions - listed below
We are dedicated to spotlighting new and seasoned authors from within the Splatter Club.
Splatterpunk, extreme horror, and bizarro fiction are terms that carry many interpretations for different individuals. For some, it’s torture porn and vile fantasies. For other’s, it’s creative concepts and well-developed characters wrapped up in a subversive message. We’re open to giving everyone a chance, so when in doubt, send it our way.
We only accept submissions from Club members. JOIN HERE
