Wrong is the creator-owned magazine of uncanny and disturbing stories.
The pleasure of being afraid
These are stories that prey on the mind. Stories that take the reader over the boundary into a place where everyday reality meets the inexplicable. Where reason alone is not enough.
Wrong stories are off-kilter, nightmarish, creepy, thought-provoking, or just plain disturbing. The most unsettling fears are the ones you can’t quite put your finger on. It needn't be anything as cosy as werewolves or vampires; nothing so comfortingly concrete as a madman with a knife. The supernatural, when it appears, can be a catalyst evoking the real horror that comes from within.

“A ghost is something waiting to happen.”Some of our stories obey the rules of logic - but dreams are also a kind of truth, and bad things are more sinister when they happen to the blameless. Not everything is always explained and neatly tied up. There are often loose ends that will leave you uneasy. Rod Serling would be at home here.
– GUILLERMO DEL TORO
“Reality and fantasy are not opposites, but different ways of looking at the same thing.”
- CATHERINE STORR

For contributors
Contributors for Wrong are appointed by personal invitation. The process for invitation is that all contributors are vouched for by an existing contributor. Contributions to Wrong are made "on loan" - that is, contributors retain all rights in their own work, and Wrong is merely the showcase (and not necessarily the only showcase) for that work. Contributors are paid nothing and keep all ownership, while the brand Wrong is owned collectively. All contributors have equal control of Wrong. There are no bosses here, only creatives.
