What is cosmic horror?

“Cosmic horror, also known as Lovecraftian horror, is a subgenre of horror that emphasizes the terror of the unknowable and incomprehensible. It favors these psychological horrors more than gore or other elements of shock and awe. … The core of all cosmic horror is the protagonist being absolutely terrified of the unknown or the future and what’s going to happen to them. … There should also be a contemplation of the human experience and the humanness of the struggle. They usually don’t have a lot of blood and gore, and instead thrive on the ideas that are scary.”

  1. Sounds like a great anthology. Quick question: how do you submit to the Cosmic Horror Anthology? I haven’t seen an email address or a Google-like submission page anywhere. Thank you for your response in advance!

  2. Just submitted a story that I think would be a great fit. Any idea on when I can expect to hear back about acceptance or rejection? Thanks!

    • Hi Joe! We strive to get submissions responded to within 30 days of the close of submissions for anthology calls. So in this case, subs close on 10/31, so we should have all replies out by the end of November.
