If you like your kids lit with a heaping dose of doom and gloom, we have found your holy grail.

Underneath the Juniper Tree is an online children’s magazine dedicated to the creepy, the crawly, the darkly delicious aspects of the genre.  Absolutely full of stories, poetry and top-notch art, UTJT arose from the ashes of the beloved Crow Toes Quarterly, which folded quietly earlier this year to the sadness of its many fans.

I’m almost afraid to say it, but I think we’ve got something even better happening now with the rise of UTJT!

Released monthly online and absolutely FREE, Underneath the Juniper Tree is a publication you don’t want to miss.  Geared mainly for the middle-grade crowd, this mag will delight any monster-lovers or scare-fiends who love giving themselves the creeps.  There’s tons of talent to be found.  Or if you’re a writer or artist with a dark side, check out the submission guidelines on the website – you may have found a potential new home for your work!

UTJT runs regular contests and giveaways you won’t want to miss – check out the 11-word scary-story contest going on right now and put your creativity to the test!

We know you’ll love it as much as we do, so go check out the August issue today!  Can’t get enough? Back issues here!  Enjoy!
