In the new year, please consider that your lit mag or newsletter deserves better than to rub elbows with nazis. Close your Substack and use literally any other platform. You will gain readers like me who avoid Substack no matter what great art you are producing there.

The hell does that mean?

It means if it's dark, and involves themes like great unknowable forces, big concepts, space, dimensions, existential drama, good ol' body horror, cosmic dread, genre blending, weird format fuckery (hell yes, send us your experimental one page RPG lyrical cosmic horromance with a soundtrack), then it's probably for us.

the sky 
	alight 		with blue
		streaking
			across heaven

little beak
	turned		up
		black eyes
