Something is stirring behind the elevator doors… and it needs a face.

We’re calling all dark artists, horror designers, and cover creators to envision the soul of our 2026 anthology, The 13th Floor. Think haunted corridors, liminal dread, unsettling elegance—this floor doesn't exist… and yet here you are.

🎨 The selected artist will:

  • Be paid for their work

  • Gain wide exposure across our platforms

  • Help bring the horror to life

  • Deadline January 15th, 2026


Submissions are now open

Dare to open the doors?

Submissions open mid-June 2025

Something’s stirring just beyond the hallway.

In early 2026, The 13th Floor will unlock—an anthology of three interconnected horror novellas, each delving into the mysteries of a floor that shouldn't exist.

We're seeking three stories, each between 30,000 and 50,000 words.

Think yours is twisted enough to survive the descent?
Full details and guidelines will appear here in mid-June.


Until then… keep your eyes on the lift.
