DILIM Press incl. Anthology of Dark Fiction from the Philippine Diaspora: Open Submissions for Under the Volcano Gold Star Program Gold Star Fee: usd $3.00

Under the Volcano is our third anthology. We invite your participation: we welcome submissions by as-yet-unpublished writers as well as seasoned authors and poets.

DILIM is not darkness: it exists between light and shadow to illuminate hidden realms of the archipelago.

*************************************
Volume III: Under the Volcano explores what it means to be human amidst natural geologic phenomena: in the midst of lava, smoke, earthquakes, or landing or creating new continents or new worlds.

We have a particular interest in this work to highlight science fiction ideas.

We look for pieces from the perspective of the natural world, of those living under the mountain, of phantasms made of ash, of the aftermath of Pinatubo, of what might happen when we use volcanic energy to transform it into something new.

We seek visions of the future: manananggals sent to defend our space shuttles, moons populated by transplanted dwende and kapre, and where we as humans belong when our natural order continues to turn over, and turn over again.

We are seeking short stories and poems that explore your ideas and thoughts about geological processes, fire, and the creatures--and people--impacted by the lava flows.

Does Kan-Laon speak through you? Does Mayon share her story through you?

Please consider submitting.
