99 Tiny Terrors

Submission Guidelines for 99 Tiny Terrors

There’s nothing better than a short, sharp slice of flash fiction to get the mind working. 99 Tiny Terrors is an anthology that the reader can dip into for something deliciously dangerous in a short amount of time or spend an afternoon trolling through blood soaked stories from all over.

Simultaneous and Multiple Submissions: We do not accept simultaneous submissions. We will allow up to two (2) submissions per author. Note: only one can be accepted.

Submit your manuscript in double-spaced Times New Roman or Courier font. Please include your byline as you’d like it to appear in publication.
