Scream The Horror Magazine : Issue 50 Sept/Oct 2018


Bit late with this because I only just found out. There's another page of  my Deadvertisements in the latest issue of Scream, (the horror magazine), currently available in the UK from WH Smiths and most branches of Forbidden Planet, and Easons bookstores in Ireland. It should also be available in America and Canada in a few weeks time from Barnes and Noble, Books A Million and Chapters Indigo stores, (and probably in Australia from somewhereorother).

That's issue 50 Sept/Oct 2018, £4.50, 100 pages, with a big scary picture of Michael Myers, a cheery buck-toothed mess of a zombie and Marilyn Manson a freaky nun on the front cover and lots of other very interesting sounding stuff inside.

You can also get subscriptions worldwide from their website.

Hallowscream! Tenth Terror-filled Issue Submission Guidelines


It's the time of the year, (Beltane, apparently), when we at Back From The Depths are once again looking for contributors for our freaky free annual pdf horror comic, HALLOWSCREAM, so here are the submission guidelines...

Submissions should be horror orientated and must be weird or spooky to make the final cut.

We are mainly looking for completed comic strips between 1-7 pages in length. Anything already completed is far more likely to make it into the comic.

Script submissions should also preferably be around 1-7 pages in length.

Eerie illustrations and artwork along with interesting horror/comic articles, scary short stories, petrifying poems or anything just plain creepy will also be considered.

To get an idea of the sort of stuff we're after, you can download previous issues of Hallowscream here.

If you're looking to illustrate something, get in contact and we'll give you details of available scripts to see if anything suits your fancy.

We'll also consider material previously published elsewhere, as long as the contributors own the copyright.

Completed artwork can be either colour or black and white, and should preferably be A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) 300 dpi jpeg or png.

Submissions can be sent to merjeagles@yahoo.co.uk or ghastlymcnasty@backfromthedepths.co.uk

As this is a non-profit, small press publication, contributors will not be paid but they will retain copyright on any material submitted.

DEADLINES :

Scripts, articles and text submissions : Monday 30th July 2018

Artwork : Tuesday 16th October 2018

Completed strips : Tuesday 23rd October 2018.

The finished issue will be available online as a free pdf by October 31st, with a physical copy becoming available via Lulu.com, soon afterwards. You can also keep up to date with Hallowscream news via the Facebook Page.
