I print primarily poetry, but also publish a small amount of short short fiction. The genres of fantasy and SF are preferred. The magazine consists of 24 digest-sized pages with card-stock cover. Publication is thrice yearly. Issue #1 was published in January of 1986.

About

I am interested in experimental formats and content, and prefer fantastic horror a la Lovecraft or Blackwood to the blood and gore type. Any SF or fantasy is appropriate if it isn't sappy or trite. If your poem rhymes, be sure that the rhymes are not forced, and that the meter is consistent.
