Weird Horror Magazine
- a labor of love.My name is Michael Kelly, owner of Undertow Publications, and editor of Weird Horror Magazine. As an editor, I've won a World Fantasy Award, a Shirley Jackson Award, and a British Fantasy Award.
Weird Horror magazine debuted in 2021 with a single issue. Since then we've produced 2 issues per year, for a total of 9 issues as of autumn 2024. Stories from Weird Horror have been selected for a number of 'Year's Best' anthologies, and favourably reviewed in Locus and other venues.
Each year I read about 2,000 submissions from 2 open calls to select about 20 stories for the 2 yearly issues. I love seeing your stories. I love publishing your stories. I love publishing the magazine.
Why I'm crowdfunding.
Finances. Magazines — especially print magazines — are a tremendous strain on finances. It costs me roughly $9800 U.S. to produce, print, and ship 2 issues each year. That cost includes paying for fiction, non-fiction, interior and cover art, design, web-hosting, and, of course, the two biggest expenses — printing and postage. My printing and postage costs have increased about 35% since I started the magazine.
In past years I'd use funds from our book publishing arm to publish Weird Horror. We're publishing less books now, so less funds are coming in to help us offset the costs related to publishing the magazine. In short, we need your help. We can't continue publishing the magazine without your support.
Our goal is $10,000 to cover the estimated costs of producing the magazine for 2025. If we reach our fundraising goal, we'll re-open to fiction submissions for a 2-week period in November.
We hope you'll consider supporting our weird, strange, dark, and beautiful endeavour.
Stay weird!
— Michael
