...I was reading and it says that you would accept fantasy sci-fi...

Fear Knocks responds:
Steven, thanx for the email. We love fantasy and science fiction, or speculative fiction, although it must have some of the horror genre flavor - the suspense, the fear, the terror - that something that leaves our audience thinking (or at least wondering) if that monster is still under the bed.
hey cool website.. im looking forward to your first writing in may...
Kimberly Keyes
Fear Knocks responds:
Thanx for the support, Kim. We're looking forward to the first issue as well. Hope to see you in the ether.
Are you from the "dark side?" Hope there will be something worth reading-ha-ha!
LaDawn
Fear Knocks responds:
Yes, LaDawn, we are from the Dark Side, and we know you will find something worth reading without our resorting to Jedi mind tricks.
Are you familiar with either Orson Scott Card or Garth Nix? I guess you can't have people's works on your web site without their consent, but I really admire both of them as authors and as authors of horror. Anyway, I like the design and the font and everything. It's cool! It makes me want to write something scary.

Fear Knocks responds:
Paul, thanx for your letter and praise. We do like Orson Scott Card and Garth Nix, but as you pointed out, there is a small problem with permission (i.e. copyrights). When we do publish other, well-known authors, for example Lovecraft and Poe in this issue, it will only be with their permission (necromancy in this case), or if the copyrights on their work have expired and the work is in the public domain (Lovecraft's works prior to 1923 are considered in the public domain). We encourage you to write something scary and submit it. Have you heard the one about the chupacabras?

...and emails
We would like to publish as many letters and emails as possible. We reserve the right to edit as appropriate, or as it fits our needs (or as the voice inside our heads directs us to). Initially, we will try to notify our submitters of our intent to publish their correspondence (Issue 1), afterwhich we hope they will just understand that letters and emails are fair game.
