About the mag…

The Dread Literary Review is an independent online literary magazine focused on displaying poems and fictions crafted around the themes of horror, mystery, and speculation. We are always open for submissions of flash fiction, short stories, and poetry.

The Dread is run by writer and poet M. Anne Avera and inspired by the frustration of the lack of accessible literary magazines that focus on darker writing. You can find more of M.’s work on Substack at “manic phase writing”.

By signing up, you will access the best of the internet’s horrible minds as weekly shorts and monthly magazines straight to your inbox. Cut out the middleman and support independent lit mags!
