An Anthology of the best noir sci-fi-Horror

Each story crafts a gritty tale based or noir realities, which break boundaries: between science-fiction and horror, police stories and military stories. The BNSH ANTHOLOGY gathers stories that break the Blue Wall of Silence.

Enter at your peril

The Best Noir Sci-Fi-Horror of 2026 is an anthology that blends noir crime stories revolving around police and military life with science fiction, horror, and dark fantasy. Each piece comes from the voice of an unknown author, a new author, an underrepresented author, and a young, unpublished author. The anthology searches for works that have not been published before. No reprints are allowed.

This anthology brings together ghosts, vampires, aliens, unhinged machines, viruses, werewolves, and zombies in settings ranging from space and futuristic environments to the distant past and the multiverse. All submissions must be sent through MOKSHA.
