PHOBIA Magazine - From Purpleverse.

About Me

The Purpleverse Mission:
Purpleverse was created as a project to take foreward new and underground horror writers. Since it's conception over four years ago, we have published many printed books and a series of online works.As we look to the future, we lay the old Sinfully Twisted and Purpleverse magazines behind and look towards the new concept "Phobia" We are aiming to build on our experience and produce a higher quality magazine to showcase our contributors. The time is ticking away as Phobia prepares for its first issue.The Future: We hope to continue building a comunity of individuals who can showcase their works and have them critiqued by peers from around the world, of different ages, and of different ethnicities. Above all, we want to stand out in the small press market by being unique and special.Our Focus: We specialize in horror and dark fantasy themed fiction and art. Not only do we accept works of fiction, but also essays, research topics, and reviews of all sorts.
