If the August 2025 issue of Defenestration were a candy bar, it would be chocolate filled with assorted nuts, ghosts, and the yellowing pages books. It would also have been banned in three dozen localities for causing seizures in the humorless. Devour it here:

I've shut down the Defenestration inbox. Please don't submit any poetry or short stories to us until August 20th. We've got a lot of stuff to read through! We're still open for nonfiction, fake nonfiction, and visuals.
