It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, Children of the Night, and welcome.

Well, I'm excited to announce that, as of this week, Tales to Terrify is officially open for story submissions. So what does that entail, you ask? Well, if you're a writer of horror or dark fiction,

that means now's your chance to have your work read by one of our phenomenal narrators

and featured on an episode of Tales to Terrify.

We accept stories up to 10,000 words long. The more terrifying, the better. So if you're a writer of

dark and disturbing fiction yourself, or you know someone who is, dust off that manuscript and send it our way.

We'd love to catch a glimpse of the blackness that lurks in your imagination.

For more details about our story selection criteria and how to submit, head over to
