We will be accepting submissions for our upcoming 2025 Annual Edition this summer. Please check our Submission Calls page for information, guidelines, and dates.

Originally meant to be our swan song, The Quiet Ones is reborn as an annual publication, featuring gorgeous works of haunting prose from Tashi Saheb-Ettaba, an essay on the female werewolf in modern culture by author Stefanie Gilmour, and so much more. This issue is the first of our October Annuals and the beginning of a new era for The Quiet Ones.

Part Two of “The End.” And it doesn’t get any bigger. Featuring works from Bram Stoker Award-Winner, Christi Nogle, the stunning Harvest by Ann Yihyang Kim, and poetry from Nebula Award-Winner, Beth Cato with Aurora Award Nominee, Rhonda Parrish. But all horror fans know the end is never truly the end...

Originally conceived as our final issue, “The End” is a two-part, double-sized journey into madness, featuring some of the most nightmarish tales we’ve ever collected. Part One includes fiction from April Yates, poetry from Emmie Christie, and the return of Antonia Rachel Ward in an exclusive interview for her novel, Dreamscape.

Our second summer special collects all the nonfiction pieces, interviews, and essays from every issue of The Quiet Ones from 2021 through all of 2023. Revisit writing advice from the phenomenal A.S. King, Nova Ren Suma, and Antonia Rachel Ward. Discover new music with The Forgetmenauts and Gozer. All that and more in one convenient package.
