About

Angry Gable Press is currently seeking short stories and poetry of science fiction, fantasy, and horror that explore the theme of sensory overload for inclusion in the collection called Extrasensory Overload: an anthology of speculative excess. Sensory overload is traditionally defined as over stimulation of the senses, when light, sound, smell, taste, touch flood the brain, and distort perception—causing what easily translates into speculative aesthetics. We are seeking submissions that actively engage readers with multi-sensory (more than one sense), supra (beyond the five senses), super or extra sensory experience (including paranormal, ESP, etc.) as part of speculative fiction and poetry.
