SUBS OPEN!

SUBS OPEN TOMORROW 🗣️🗣️🗣️

as you look to the fringes, here are a few common tropes we see:

horror in the shape of abuse, grief, mental illness; descent into madness; therapy sessions; long drives to remote places (think: lost in the woods); medical horror.

we like this stuff but for 003, see what new edges you can explore.

for issue three, we want alternatives; distortions; oubliettes; norms forgotten; borders stretched and faded; the uncanny; the imperceptible; shaky ground; ambiguity. make us feel weird. subs open march 1.
