SO ... WHAT'S THE DEAL? 

Truly*Horror is a digital magazine that brings deep original reporting and research to the art of telling true stories that delve into psychological terror, purported hauntings, unexplained phenomena and the chase for proof of the paranormal. We nurture and publish longform nonfiction from the best narrative writers today in this largely untapped storytelling arena.

Truly*Horror is a subsidiary of Truly Adventurous, a media company publishing true-crime stories and real-life mysteries from a diverse array of longform writers including Pulitzer winners and nominees, award-winning magazine writers, and up-and-coming journalists to create one-of-a-kind storytelling for readers.

Our stories are often shared by the most respected curators of journalism and storytelling—Longreads, Sunday Longread, Pocket Discover, and others. And many of our pieces have second lives in spaces like film & TV, theater, animation, etc. Here’s some press.
