looking forward to it. you know, we've already been helping each other catch bugs and stuff, over there on the FH submissions board. you already have access, i think. if you want some feedback before you're done, there's no shame in asking... but there's no pressure, either

No pressure?
How the Hell do you expect to get this finished?
Nothing gets done without bullyragging somebody, mercilessly, pitilessly, incessantly and savagely, the kind of bullyragging that puts an end to the possibility of sleep, causes panic attacks, constipation, explosive diareahha(but not at the same time), weeping, projectile vomiting, anhedonia, insomnia and impotence.
Oh, yes, heartburn, too.

we like to keep the horror on the page, not so much in the workshop

Remember, "The Thing in the Underpants", one of the most horrifying of all the works of Lovecraft, so frightening, it has been supressed!

JJ Burke wrote:certainly — if you produce an 'original work of disturbing imagination' in musical form, we'll include it along with the writing and artwork.

maybe we can loop some of it on the table on contents, too.. if it's sort of ambient, not overbearing. but either way, we can make use of musical input.

since FH is a non-commercial enterprise, it's good that you are willing to forgo remuneration. however i am inclined to give prominent credit to each person who contributes to the effort.

let us know what you come up with. register in the FH forum, and one of us will give you access to the submissions area. that's where we'll figure out the best application of your material
As you wish.

Post by JJ Burke »

the first thing we'll release is issue #0, which is just a demonstration of the fantastic horror package, to attract talent for issue #1. this image will be used for the cover/table of contents for #0.

stay tuned for more info about getting your work into issue#1!

It should probably be said that Issue #0 is more of a taster of the vibe we're working on, rather than a full example of a usual issue. But still, it should prove an interesting read.

right, issue #0 is only a prototype. for this reason, we won't be promoting it to anyone except potential contributors

Fantastic Horror presents Demo Issue #0

This special prototype volume is an example of how FH content will be presented in the future. We hope writers and artists will find our format attractive enough to consider submitting their work for publication in Issue #1 and beyond.
