Strange Vibes Weird Fiction Podcast

Shout it out loud! Listeners, we have a special treat for you! Horror and weird fiction authors, submit your audio stories here. Details below.

Submit your short story to Strange Vibes Horror & Weird Fiction Anthology

The Strange Vibes Horror & Weird Fiction Podcast is a new project. For chills and thrills, we'll be broadcasting once a week at 9-9:30pm Sunday nite, to give you an eerie earful of the mad, macabre, darkly comedic and just plain weird. Episode 1 rolls out March 29, so keep an eye on Sylvia's Substack (free to subscribe and get Strange Vibes right in your in-boo-x), or check the Strange Vibes Podcast broadcast page for up-to-date episode info.

Transcriptions available free.

This is a free podcast for the entertainment of listeners, and forging a strong author/listener connection. There's nothing like hearing authors read their own brilliant tales of tumult and terror, or a dramatic narration, to keep your spine tingling or your demented laughter coming!

The Strange Vibes Horror & Weird Fiction Podcast is accessible through Substack, and we're connecting to other platforms such as Spotify and YouTube Podcasts. Come, creepy friends and weirdos! Take a journey with us.

Audio Submissions

Welcome aboard, strange authors! Send a two-minute audio sample in MP3 or WAV format, with the word "Audio" & story name in the title, to sylviakayrose@gmail.com. Include a synopsis of your story. If we want to hear more we'll be in touch!

This round of submissions is open til June 1 2026. It's a half-hour broadcast and we're planning several weeks in advance.

Accepting:

Short Stories - Short stories narrated by the author, around 20 minutes in length. We know there's a great vocal thespian lurking inside you, and some are bursting to get out. However, if you'd rather have your story read by a narrator, you can conscript a friend.

Short Shorts & Poetry - Got some flash? Waxing poetic? We're seeking flash fiction, short shorts up to 5 minutes in length, poetry up to 2 minutes, as filler material. Grease up those vocal cords and give us the best of your wild, horrific and uncanny flash, poems or short fiction.

We don't ask for exclusive rights or first publication rights, and you retain copyright. If your work's been published, be sure it can be used without causing a conflict.

Audio counts as a publishing credit and can be used in your CV. We also produce podcast transcripts so our content is accessible to those with hearing disabilities.

At this time we're operating on a non-profit level. It's a new project, and we don't currently pay for audio content. It is, however, a distinct possibility in the future, and meanwhile a prime opportunity to promote yourself through our blog, monthly newsletter and media channels, as well as on the air.

Narrators & Voice Actors - Love the sound of your own voice? Looking for cred? Polishing your portfolio? Seek clientele? We're in process of compiling a directory of narrators, voiceover artists and voice actors, accessible to authors and others who need these services.

Horror and weird fiction narrators and voice actors, send a voice sample, up to 60 seconds, in MP3 or WAV format to sylviakayrose@gmail.com, with "Voice" in the subject line. Intro yourself, and read a paragraph from a public domain work in the horror and weird fiction genre (avoid copyrighted material) so we can get an idea of your style.

Tell us what you'd like to do (ie overall narration, voice acting in a story, etc). If we want to hear more, we'll get in touch! We're open to a variety of tones and accents, with the ability to voice different characters a major asset.
