[edit] History
Founded by Dru Pagliassotti, The Harrow (ISSN 1528-4271) was launched in January 1998 and is currently published on the first of each month using Open Journal Systems software. The Harrow has an all-volunteer editorial staff and reviewer pool and uses a double-blind review system that provides authors with individualized feedback on their submissions.
First-place Harrow contest winner "Harming Obsession" by Bev Vincent received an honorable mention in The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (16th Ed.); "The Pickup," a short story by Jim Schutte, published in The Harrow, was a 2005 nominee for the Gaylactic Spectrum Award[2]. M. Frost's poem "Removing the Bloodstain," from the November 2006 issue of The Harrow, will be reprinted in the March 2007 newsletter from the Horror Writers Association [3]. Well-known authors published in The Harrow include Gemma Files and Peter Crowther. Other authors published in The Harrow who also have novels or collections out include Brian Ames, Chris Howard, and Marlys Pearson.

The Harrow has put out one anthology, Fear of the Unknown[4], published by Echelon Press, with an introduction by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and stories by Poppy Z. Brite, Owl Goingback, and Jack Ketchum. It has two more anthologies in the works: Midnight Lullabies[5] and a collection of the ten winners of its 2006 fiction contest, which was judged by Brian Keene and Ramsey Campbell.
