“The Three-lobed Burning Eye is a magazine of speculative fiction published online two or three times per year. We’ve been online since 1999, and feature six stories per issue. At the end of each year, we publish an annual anthology in trade paperback. Payment to writers is $13, paid on publication, plus one contributor’s copy of the annual. Terms are one-time electronic rights, with non-exclusive archival rights, and one-time print rights.

Our Needs:

Seeking quality speculative fiction. We tend toward horror and dark fantasy, and what you might call magical realism or “slipstream” or “cross-genre”. We might consider an occasional science fiction, suspense or even western, though the story must contain some speculative element. We want stories that expand genre by placing value on originality in character, narrative and plot. We want only your best fiction, distinct and remarkable tales that the reader cannot forget. Also, we encourage multi-cultural points of view.

Fiction only.
500 – 7,000 words in length

What we do NOT publish: serial stories, novel excerpts, derivative works or fan fiction (e.g. Star Trek, Buffy, D&D), erotica, sword & sorcery, space opera, non-fiction (reviews, interviews, etc.), or poetry.

(Yes, 3LBE does take its name from a line in an H.P. Lovecraft story, but it is not an anthology of Cthulhu mythos tributes.)”
