Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses, keeping you from sleep.

It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

Well, our favorite holiday of the year is fading frighteningly fast in the rear view,

and you know what scares me most about that?

How damn quickly the skeletons, ghosts, and ghouls are usurped by angels, reindeer, and snowmen.

That stark shift from dark and dreary to bright and cheery. Kind of feels like flipping on the lights in the middle of the night. You know what I mean? But, children of the

night, I'm hoping this is where you can help us out. Let's paint the season a jolly shade of scarlet, shall we? I know it feels a little

gross to be thinking too much about Christmas already, unless you're one of those people.

I won't judge. Okay, maybe a little. As of today, though, Tales to Terrify is once again open for story submissions,

and we're hoping for some early, horrible Christmas gifts. So if you've got any holiday-themed horror

rattling around your story drawer, we'd love to hear it. The more monstrous, the better.

And while I know Grampus is near and dear to all of our hearts,

we're looking for some more unique holiday creations. Of course, being open to submissions means we're not just looking for horrifying holiday yarns. We're looking for stories

from all over the horror sphere, terrifying tales of all kinds up to 10,000 words. Tales to Terrified.com

slash submissions has all of the details on what we're looking for and how to submit your own story.

Check it out. I can't wait to see what terrible things you have in store.

Our deepest, most dreadful thanks goes out this week to patrons Matt Robinson and Corbin Kell.
