Flash Fiction Guidelines

Flash Fiction stories are short fiction stories usually between 500 - 1,000 words. Like a normal short story, they have a beginning, a middle and an ending.

Will like darker fiction, with well thought out characters and plots. We are looking for Dark Fantasy, Horror, Speculative fiction, Some fantasy (but not the sword and sorcerer type). The supernatural, the occult or the just plain bizarre is also welcome.

We enjoy ghost stories. Stories about Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, Goblins, Ghouls, Zombies, and anything else you can dream up. Dazzle us and remember with these shorter pieces of work that every word needs to count.
