For some reason, we seem to get a lot of spooky, horror, and similar stories in October. Okay, I guess it's not a total mystery why we get them: it's Halloween season! Personally, I enjoy a good halloween story very much. :) But since the November issue comes out at the end of November, Halloween season is long gone by the time we publish. Of course, we do accept macabre/horror fiction all year... Make sure it's sufficiently general.
Trying to submit seasonal stories doesn't really work because of our production schedule, although we are quicker than many other markets.
If you did want to try a seasonal story--which I don't recommend--try to hit the holiday near, or slightly after the production date.
I better get back to work reading slush! Good luck, authors!
