OPEN for submissions
We are seeking weird, surreal, funny, spooky, beautiful, and dreamy. Blends of more than one of these are welcome here.
And when we say we want your weird, surreal, funny, spooky, beautiful, and dreamy, we mean we want only your BEST in those categories. Polished, final drafts. And then light our fuse with what you’ve got. We love unforgettable opening lines, poems that make the mind sweat, stories that earworm into the heart and visual art so arresting that we wish we could touch it.
