Info
Chthonic Lit focuses on the blurred line between genre fiction and literary fiction, with a particular emphasis on short speculative fiction. Poetry, artwork, essays, and other creative works are welcome but will have less space available as this is primarily a short story collection. The more unique and boundary-pushing, the better!
We are a biannual publication. Submissions will be open from January-end of April (with publication in June) and July-end of October (with publication in December) each calendar year.
We only take submissions for the current issue. Please don’t send anything if we are not accepting submissions. You can always reach out to us by email if you have any questions. We are happy to collaborate and hear your thoughts.
Please do not put your name in the document you are submitting. All prose must use Times New Roman 12 point font and double line spacing. Poetry must use single space.

What we look for in submissions:
Speculative fiction, poetry, prose, visual art, essays, memories, reviews, interviews, and experimental pieces that explore the uncanny, the unsettling, and the blurred line between the real and the surreal. We want to dig deep into the soil, the marrow, the grit of your work.
Please be respectful. If we feel your piece fits the theme and compliments other submissions, we will do our best to include it. That being said, we can only accept a certain amount of submissions.
Simultaneous submissions are allowed but if your piece is accepted elsewhere please immediately contact us and withdraw your submission.
Short Fiction:
Word count: 500-5,000 words.
Poetry:
Up to 3 poems per submission, with each new poem starting on a new page. Please indicate if the poems are part of a triptych or standalone.
