TLDR: Check out the Horror Straya Site for details!

From paranormal to terror, psychological to the brutal – the horror genre pushes the boundaries of what it means to be human.

Horror’Straya is an Australian artist and writer zine, aimed at horror lovers and those who are interested in entering the world of the horror genre.

All artists and writers will receive up to 2 pages to showcase their love of horror. You may enter work that has been self-published before, but not professionally published. If you are unsure, get in touch with the team.

For artworks that defy the boundaries of the 2-dimensional (such as 3D art, assemblage, costume or jewellery at, you may submit photographs as your contribution).

A template will be emailed to you when you sign up which you must adhere to. If you go larger or smaller, the team will have a hard time editing for you.

Every contributor will receive 2 physical copies and 1 digital copy of the finished zine they can use to promote sales.

All profits from the sale of this zine go to 2 charities (to be announced), and the amount raised will be announced and donated on the 1st December 2023.

“Hey Porch Beer Drinkers! Since its inception, I have wanted to make Porch Beers Press something bigger than myself. One such project is going to come to fruition in 2023 (details in the upcoming months). However, I’d love to test the waters and see who all is out there that might be a good fit.

I came up with the idea of the Porch Beers Press Mix, inspired heavily by the Hello America seasonal compilations and the literary mags and underground newspapers I read in my youth. Without further ado…. the details:

Porch Beers Press Mix
Issue 1: The Art of Drowning

Take your inspiration from the Billy Collins poem “The Art of Drowning.” Take it from the title, or the concept, or a turn of phrase. Or hell, don’t take it at all, I’m not a cop.

Here are your limits:

Prose/nonfiction: 1000 words
Poetry: no more than three poems totaling 1000 words together
Artwork/photography/comics: able to fit 5.5′ X 8.5′ and 300 DPI (final product will be in black and white)
Anything else: email me for details

Please include a 2-3 sentence short bio as well with your piece.

Contributors will receive a physical copy of the final zine. Deadline for your contribution is April 1, 2023. Email any finished pieces or questions to porchbeerszine@gmail.com with the subject line “Issue 1 submission.”

The amazing and incredible @missmuffcake is calling for your photography submissions for a new zine coming up! The deadline is April 1st, so be sure to get in soon!
