Hallowscream! Spinetingling Sixteenth Issue Submission Guidelines

Well, this year's guidelines have shown up a bit later than usual.  As many of the eldritch squelchy things lurking in the dank corners of our dungeons will tell you, "life can get in the way sometimes", but as that scientist chap with the laboratory on the top floor said the other day about something unrelated, "I'm sure we can still get something horrible assembled by the end of October", so we at Back From The Depths are once again looking for contributors for our freaky free annual pdf horror comic, HALLOWSCREAM.  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 :  Saturday 3rd August 2024

Artwork : Friday 18th October 2024

Completed strips : Sunday 27th October 2024.

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