“Our creative touchstones at APOCALYPSE CONFIDENTIAL are authors like Harlan Ellison, Shirley Jackson, Clive Barker, China Miéville, and Jim Thompson; authors who, above all, pushed boundaries.” — fiction editor, D.A. Wohler
Simultaneous submissions are permitted, except for special presentations, though please let us know if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Reprints and excerpts are permitted as well, though we prefer to publish original work.
“To paraphrase Frank O’Hara: Almost no poets are better than the movies. Send us poems that are better than the movies.” — poetry editor, Tom Will
