Tough
This is an online crime fiction journal publishing short
stories and self-contained novel excerpts, and occasional book
reviews. Their guidelines say, “We are particularly interested in stories
with rural settings and stories that intersect with the weird or occult. To clarify:
think H.P. Lovecraft for a modern audience, without the racist baggage.
Think Fatale, by Ed Brubaker and Sean
Phillips. We are not interested in science fiction or fantasy, except for
stories in which those elements accentuate or play a major role in a crime.” They
publish every Monday.
Deadline: Rolling
Length: 1,500-7,500 words for fiction; up to 1,500 words for book reviews
Pay: $25
