04/17/2026 Uncomfortably Dark Horror Special Report: SELF (S)CARE ANTHOLOGY-TOC Announced!

After much deliberation and discussion, our curator Paul Carro has made the final selections for the SELF (S)CARES Anthology! Acceptances and rejections have been sent out, so anyone that was waiting for the news, please check your emails!

Sending the rejections was not easy because these stories were all amazing, creative, and original, each in their own way. Choices were made on a long list of criteria, including creativeness, originality, and those that sought to go outside the box and against the norms.
