a free e-zine of horror art, poetry and microfiction
What’s going on with tiny frights?
I’ve decided to turn it into my personal horror blog. Posts will probably be infrequent, and I expect they’ll mostly be about what I’m reading, viewing, or listening to in the horror genre (or horror-adjacent material). I might occasionally post original writings or art. Zine issues and podcast episodes will remain available.
On Saturday, January 18th, I will be shutting down the tiny frights Facebook and Instagram accounts.
tiny frights is ceasing publication, and there will be no new podcast episodes.
Much gratitude to everyone who’s been a part of tiny frights. As much as possible, be safe and be well.
(I plan to keep past issues and podcast episodes online.)
tiny frights is now closed to submissions. Look for our new issue on Halloween! Thanks to everyone who submitted. If you haven’t heard back yet, you should within the next week or so.
We’ll start taking submissions on November 15th for the Walpurgis 2025 issue.
tiny frights is closed to submissions while we put together the Walpurgis 2024 issue, due out April 30th. Lots of good stuff! Thank you to everyone who sent in poetry, fiction, or art.
Submissions will open May 1st for the Halloween issue.
tiny frights is leaving Substack, for reasons explained in this article on Business Insider.
As a replacement, we’ll be managing subscriptions in-house with phpList.
If you’re one of our Substack subscribers, you’ll receive an email soon explaining how to continue to get our content.
If you’re not yet one of our subscribers, you can subscribe to the new system at https://tinyfrights.com/mlist/?p=subscribe&id=1, where you’ll have a choice of three “newsletters” to subscribe to:
We won’t sell or give your information to anyone, unless we’re compelled to do so by law, which seems unlikely.
For now, the tiny frights content that’s on Substack will stay up, but it won’t be there permanently.
I hope for a pleasant and pleasantly spooky 2024 for you all!
Sincerely,
Carl Bettis, editor
tiny frights will be leaving the Substack platform soon. (If you don’t know what Substack is, this change won’t affect you.)
More details to come once I work out the logistics.
tiny frights submissions are closed until November 1st, 2023. Look for the next issue on Halloween day!
A new episode of the tiny frights podcast has dropped! Episode 2 features the poem “Ryan” by Eve Ott.
Speaking of which, the submission guidelines have been updated to include the right to feature a performance of your work in the podcast. Of course, that doesn’t apply retroactively to works accepted before today. If you’ve previously been published or accepted for publication in tiny frights, I might be in touch to request podcast rights.
tiny frights now has a weekly podcast! The first episode has been released, and the next three are in the works. Find it wherever you get your podcasts, or at https://redcircle.com/shows/bd120807-a3c4-49a2-b380-80cc1a2c7442.
Many thanks to Anne for helping make this a reality.
Submissions are open through September 30th for the Halloween 2022 issue of tiny frights! Please take a look at the submission guidelines and send some delicious spookiness our way!
