Submissions are now closed for Phantom Worlds. Received 150 stories this time around, which brings the total number to 650+ submissions. I'll be sending out responses over the next week and announcing new authors in an updated TOC very soon.

Publication date is Oct 7, 2025.

PHANTOM WORLDS UPDATE: A huge thank you to everyone who submitted a story! I received 478 stories total, and accepted only 5. I try to get around 8-10 stories for each issue, so submissions have opened again until the last slots are filled.

Submissions are now closed for PHANTOM WORLDS: THE CELLAR DOOR ISSUE #6. This one broke a record with 500 submissions sent. I'll be busy over the next month reading your stories, so expect a TOC around March with a release date in early June.

I got my contributor copy of the latest issue of The Cellar Door from @darkpenpress.bsky.social and I'm definitely looking forward to reading through the rest of these stories.
And you should too!
