Horror stories aren’t everyone’s choice but not all horror stories are chainsaw massacre blood and guts type, either. If you enjoy writing horror and want a few ideas on types you could write about, read what Erica Verrillo suggests, “Some of the genres accepted by horror magazines include: humorous horror, holiday horror, psychological horror, science fiction horror, slasher horror, supernatural horror, gothic horror, erotic horror, teen horror and, of course, anything with zombies, werewolves, vampires, or other malevolent creatures. Many of the magazines on this list also accept dark fiction, dark fantasy, and other genre crossovers that evoke a sinister mood.”
