FALL 2024 SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED!

More info about Fall 2024 launch coming soon!

In this issue, 80s Halloween kitsch meets the grotesque and seductive. We’re drawn to stories, poems, essays, art, and photography that explore the monstrous and the beautiful, the body as a site of desire and revulsion.

Imagine the freedom of a forbidden encounter with a lover in an X-rated cinema, or a forgotten alley illuminated by neon glow—places where bodies stigmatized and considered grotesque are also desired and loved. How does desire morph when the body defies the norms of what’s “beautiful” or “acceptable?” How can the shame of stigmatized sex both limit and expand on erotic possibility?

We’re craving works that are both playful and dark, intimate yet unsettling—unapologetic explorations of attraction that push boundaries and make us squirm, illuminating the erotic potential of the strange, the monstrous, and the reassembled. Send us your stitched-together tales of shame, lust, and love.
