MENACE - Fiction
(Poetry) (Nonfiction)
Description
Wait three months after receiving a response to submit again.
M E N A C E publishes work that encapsulates the dark, the transgressive, the gross. While not strictly a space for the speculative, M E N A C E seeks the “literary weird”—work that would be rejected from big literary magazines for being too genre.
M E N A C E walks the line between the gazes, so send us your best pieces about femme rage, femgore, period sex, queer sex, ghosts, girlhood, girlhood as a girl of color, grief, the gothic, demons, witches, climate, science, seas, mothers, monsters, any and all non-Twilight vampires. We want body horror, eco-horror, cosmic horror. We want work that walks into the shadows and illuminates the shape of something greater breathing in the dark—humor, wonder, love, repair, transcendence. Give us your unlikeable femme protagonists. Give us words that haunt.
