They want speculative flash fiction on the Paranormal Noir theme, stories “that marry the noir and paranormal aesthetic in any speculative genre. … “Isn’t Paranormal Noir just a subset of Urban Fantasy?”
It can be, but we’d love to see a new, fresh take on old themes. 

• Vampires in space, doing crime? Sure! 
• Far-future consciousness transfer-hauntings? Send them our way! 
• Sad wizard investigates a murder in LA? Okay, sounds cool, submit that, but also what if he were on Mars instead?
• A group of West Virginia moonshiners firebombing a haunted A.I. data center?”

They also welcome stories from unique points of view. Also see the kind of stories they do not want.
