What Kickstarter Tier Are You?

the kind of stories we want

Dark Matter Magazine aims to bring you stories that explore the shadow side of reality. This does not mean that we prefer gratuitous sex and violence, or that the story must be cynical or misanthropic. Even stories of hope and optimism can arrive at their theses after first taking us on a journey through the most downtrodden fringes of society, or the deepest reaches of space, or the darkest corners of the mind. But stories don’t always have happy endings either.

We prefer to publish stories reminiscent of science fiction and horror heavyweights like Isaac Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Jorge Luis Borges, Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler, Arthur C. Clarke, Michael Crichton, Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Robert Heinlein, Shirley Jackson, M.R. James, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Stephen King, Ursula K. Le Guin, H.P. Lovecraft, Alan Moore, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Sheckley, Mary Shelley, Dan Simmons, Neal Stephenson, Bram Stoker, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells, to name a few. If you count these legendary writers among your inspirations, submit your story today. We’d love to give it a read.

For writers that use humor to explore the dark side of things, look to authors like Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Kurt Vonnegut for examples of what we’d like to see.
