About Fright

Fright is a horror literary journal

Fright is dedicated to exploring the full spectrum of horror, from spine-chilling scares to the deeply human experiences behind them. We welcome short horror works across all subgenres, spotlighting the diverse voices and stories that define the genre.

Our mission is to celebrate horror writers, nurture their craft, and cultivate a thriving community that empowers the next generation of creators. As we strive for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status as an independent, non-profit literary journal, we remain committed to cultivating creativity, connection, and a shared love for all things terrifying.
