Hey all,
I'm struggling with a story I just wrote. I was trying to write a horror story, because there seems to be tons of places to submit horror short stories, but also because I wanted to 'cross the line' of what normally goes in a thriller and get a little more graphic, a little more primal.
Now that I'm done the story though, aside from one scene in a 4400 word story, I really don't think it's a horror.
Depending on your point of view, its either a paranormal suspense, a psychological thriller, or some kind of horror story. I'm not sure which. How do you figure out where an enigma like this might fit in the publishing world?
Thanks,
EDIT: Oh the story is posted in syw under horror, in case anybody feels especially bored/helpful
