We need short fiction - lots of it!
In
the spirit of the pulp magazines of the last century, Black Matrix is
in the process of launching four magazines full of action, adventure,
romance and suspense.
ENCOUNTERS:
Contemporary or dark fantasy,scifi, horror and stories with
a paranormal twist. We throw it all in the mix, shake well, and see what exotic brew emerges in every issue.
REALMS: If
more traditional fantasy is your forte,
this is where you'll want to spend some time. We need content in the
same vein as Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan and David Eddings.
NIGHT CHILLS:
If it lurks in the dark and creeps through your yard late at night, we
want it. Please, no psychological horror. We want stories that remind
us of the best creature oriented tales of Dean Koontz, F. Paul Wilson,
Peter Straub or "The Damned Thing," by Ambrose Bierce.
OUTER REACHES:
This one is for all of you who think we have cooled our heels
for way too long on this little mud-ball we call Earth. We're looking
for stories of high adventure in the deepest reaches of space. Whether
it's good old-fashioned space opera such as early Robert Heinlein or
grand visions such as the writings of Stephen Baxter, we want to see it
and everything in between.
ARTISTS: We
need some quality art for color covers and black &
white interiors. We're looking for images in the spirit of the old pulp
magazines such as Astounding, Galaxy, Amazing Stories and Fantastic;
something that reflects the action and adventure of the stories in each
magazine. Check out our art guidelines
here.
A publication schedule will be posted as soon as we
have enough content to launch the first issue of each magazine.
Sometime near the end of September we will post subscription info for each
title.
