Black Candies is a place where “genre” is not a dirty word. It’s a place where respectable and serious writers can indulge their darkest and weirdest tendencies. Black Candies does not revel in pulp, teenage vampire erotica or lurid gore. It’s a platform for authors to create serious, intelligent terror.
Black Candies: A Journal of Literary Horror wants to unsettle you.
For the 2012 issue, six writers including Nick Antosca (Midnight Picnic, The Obese), Jim Ruland (Big Lonesome) and Natanya Ann Pulley (Quarterly West) interpret the theme “Post Apocalypse” in unique and troubling ways. Full-color illustrations accompany each story, including artwork and design from Adam Vieyra, the art director behind San Diego CityBeat, San Diego’s largest progressive newspaper.
