Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Been thinking about having a guest editor for our September issue, but I’m not sure the best way to execute it since we do a three month submission window for six months worth of stories. Do we have a separate call for the guest editor? Or let them pick from the regular window..?

Going to change the name of the March issue to Mindlessly Massive to avoid confusion. Official guidelines will be up on the site when I’m back from holiday, but the only thing different from our regular call is the length.

One point of clarification… monstrous here refers to the size of the issue—we are still open to all types of stories, surreal, speculative, slipstream, horror, fantasy, magical realism, etc. etc.
