Theme:

In the desolate landscapes of Utah (or, in fact, any real or fictional place you choose), a bizarre phenomenon unfolds as thousands of tumbleweeds amass, engulfing residential yards, barricading buildings, and rendering roads impassable.

But these tumbleweeds are not mere botanical oddities; they harbour an ominous secret.

We invite speculative fiction and horror writers to explore the sinister depths of this phenomenon.

• What if tumbleweed isn’t just tumbleweed?
• Where does it originate?
• What dark forces propel its relentless advance?
• What horrors does it bring with it?
• Does it herald the onset of an apocalyptic upheaval, a world consumed by its sinister presence?
• If your story is post-apocalyptic, delve into the shadows and unleash your imagination upon a world gripped by the Tumbleweed Apocalypse.
