Trans Rites: An Anthology of Genderfucked Horror MATURE CONTENT

A project of The Dionysian Public Library (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The Library is now open for our first anthology, Trans Rites: An Anthology of Genderfucked Horror, for publication in print and digital. This collection, edited by v.f. thompson and Fritz Dries, will feature a bazaar of bizarre tales of transition and transformation, beastliness and becoming. To embody transness is to change shape, to become something else. The theorist Judith Butler refers to the construction of gender as a process of ritual and naturalization. Show us your screams, your howls, your primal gibbering, your moonlight dances and your bleeding guts. No limits on content. Show us your gnarliest.
