The genre grows stronger every time a new writer dares to bring their truth into the dark.

That’s why Tales from the Black Sea exists, to make room for young voices who dare to explore what waits below.

Horror gives shape to the fears we’re told to hide: grief, identity, loss, survival.

It turns silence into story. It lets us confront the things polite conversation avoids

Why Horror Matters

Horror pushes boundaries…and some boundaries need to be pushed.
Horror isn’t just about the monsters we invent, it’s about the ones we’re forced to face.

Submissions are open.

Horror. Fantasy. The strange and the sea-bound.

High school writers (ages 14–18)
Deadline Nov 30
The Hollow Archives await: HollowArchives.com
