About

What We Are Looking For: Fiction, poetry, and art in the Midwestern Gothic style. We are willing to consider some magical realism or supernatural elements in our selections, but we are not looking for straight-up fantasy or horror that happens to be set in the Midwest. Neil Gaiman's American Gods might fly here, but "Cthulu in Chicago" is too far down the scale for this publication. Submitters should have a connection to the North American Midwest, and works should be set in the Midwest, although we will consider an exceptional story featuring a Midwesterner living elsewhere. We are about your voice. Of course, with the web, anyone can self-publish, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, there is a certain amount of validation that comes with independent publication, and that is what we want to do. Editing and collating multiple-artist volumes, putting them on the web, and sharing the joy is what it is all about.
