About Literally Horror
Literally Horror is not just another website — it’s a cult of carefully curated horror, a devoted community drawn to stories that haunt, disturb, and linger long after reading. Founded by Canadian horror writer Bernard Kradjian, the site showcases short horror fiction that values atmosphere, originality, and craft over cheap thrills, building a following that feels more like an underground movement than a typical audience.
Every story is chosen for its ability to unsettle and terrify — horror that lives in the mind as much as on the page. We focus on delivering literary horror with cinematic unease, drawing on folklore, urban legends, and psychological dread while speaking with a modern edge.
Unlike free-for-all forums, Literally Horror is designed as a horror fiction journal, a place where readers can expect quality, consistency, and a voice that treats horror as art. Submissions are welcome, but only the most compelling pieces make it through, ensuring a collection of horror stories that stay with you long after the final line.
