PF – Tales Anthology Series Seeking Stories and Poems of “The Unknown”
Tales from the Unknown
Editor’s Tip: From the abyss to the great beyond to the other side of the wall, an unknown place is ripe for adventure. The unknown is so much more than a place, too—we don’t know what we don’t know, nor do we know why, how, or when.
Edited by Theresa Green

Theresa is looking for well-developed concepts, inviting storytelling, clear description, and an occasional laugh to break the tension. Genre is yours to play with*.
