Horror Magazines

Here is our listing for horror magazines. We list the most horror magazines on the web. The database is searchable, and we hope you find a place to publish your work. Please note that when clicking on the category, you will find that Horror Magazines are listed in alphabetical order. We try our best to weed out any broken links and mark all magazines DEFUNCT that are no longer published.

We love horror. Anyone who frequents the Every Writer pages knows we are particular fans of this category and horror writers. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need help publishing your work. If you have questions for a publisher, please post the question in the comments. We have been doing this for a long time, so if you come across an expired listing, please email it to us! Thank you, and happy hunting.

Horror magazines have been around since the 1600s, possibly earlier, if we consider the old horror pamphlets as a direct predecessor to our modern-day magazines. Horror is one of our oldest genres, and we would, I hope, all agree that horror publications and horror magazines have played a prominent role in keeping the genre alive and vital.

It's fun to be scared. From those early horror pamphlets, we got Dracula and Frankenstein. Stoker was said to be a fan of those scary circulators. Stephen King wrote Creepshow, a great homage to those early horror comics and pulp magazines, and today we see again and again horror authors turning to magazines, finding horror stories and bringing them into novels and onto the big screen and broader audiences.

Horror magazines, these terror-filled collections of tales, are what shape the conventions of our day. If you see it in a horror magazine a couple of years later, you'll see it everywhere in horror. These stories and magazines lead the way, even though they are small. They are innovators. Hardcore horror fans, authors, and future authors are reading them. Some people think these small publications do not matter, but I am telling you they are the cornerstone of our nightmares.

This list helps those magazines listed here. I hope it helps you as writers. If a magazine title is followed by a >, it links directly to their site. If it has an X or says Defunct it is defunct.
