Here is another one pulled from AuthorsPublish.com...

Original website

They want short horror stories with a focus on ghosts, the supernatural, paranormal, monsters, and dark tales. The stories will be published in their ‘Night Terrors’ anthologies. “We go for stories that are dark, literary; we are looking for the creepy, the weird and the unsettling” according to their guidelines. The magazine also accepts reprints.
Deadline: 26 October 2020
Length: 3,000-7,000 words
Pay: “$10 per 1,000 words” ($0.01/word)

These are not good terms; the fact that they only want exclusive rights for six months doesn't change the fact that they have permanent rights, in multiple forms and languages.

I would suggest a pass with prejudice. You're selling permanent rights for non standard terms.

It's not a good idea to sign or sell if there are not explicit term limits to the rights you're selling.

Keep in mind that SFWA, a fairly good rubric, considers 0.8 / word pro rates as of 2019.

When a publisher talks about exposure it should raise a caution flag.

Again, it's worse to be poorly published than never published at all.

I'm moving this to Bewares.
