If you think Tales of Terror is pretty cool, just think how much better it would be if it included a Tale of your own!

Just email me a Tale of Terror of your own devising and if I like it I'll add it to these pages.

Before submitting, there are two rules.

First, please review the submission guidelines. You can see them here.

Second, please use the form below to submit your Tale of Terror to me.
