Some voyagers get lost in this land of DREAMS, forgetting their way back to the path, to home. Others experience intense VISIONS, glimmers of the past,…
Fear…
“An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.” Hey, feisty ones! It’s been a while.

Splatter Chatter by Shaun Avery
What is it about being a horror fan that makes you want to watch films you know will be terrible? I ask this question having just dragged myself away from the ‘scary’ section of my local DVD store, where a cheap copy of Halloween: Resurrection was proving rather hard to resist. Now, there was just…
The Pull of the Supernatural by Lorraine Sharma Nelson
What is it about all things supernatural that people find so fascinating?
Some Thoughts on Rabbit Holes and Filling Them by Daniel Hale
My opinions on the adaptation or reimagining of established classical or fairy stories has changed pretty significantly in the past few years.

A Personal Story and Giveaway with Linda G. Hill
The first time I saw my name in print in an actual physical book was the day I received my copy of AFTER THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. I was ecstatic when I got an e-mail from Transmundane Press to say my story had been accepted for the anthology, but nothing–and I mean NOTHING–could have prepared…

Announcing Our New Air-Themed Call for Submissions
AIR surrounds us. Invisible but everywhere, AIR can be gentle and playful spirit, or an aggressive and destructive force. Winds lift and move water, driving the storms and waves that irrigate crops and shape shorelines. The breeze can transport seeds, fertilizing the earth and spreading life in its wake. AIR feeds fire, gives life to…
A Millennial’s Guide to Majors
So, I’m changing my major again. This time I’m focusing on something I never thought I would do, and it gives me new excitement for the future. I’ve always loved writing, but I’ve found that majoring in the things I love has caused me to hate them. I tried writing, I love writing, and after…
It’s Just Another Bad Day: Overthinking
