Myths, Legends, and the Supernatural

What does your palm say about you? How has life been for you during Kali Yuga? Have you ever seen Chang’e up on the moon? How about the Hantu Belangkas during a cruise trip? Does God talk to us? Whether you have first-hand experiences or have stories passed down to you through textbooks, we want to hear your supernatural adventures so that just maybe we can finally recognize our grandfather’s spirit in the stranger sitting next to us. 

We are looking for short stories, creative non-fiction, poetry, drama excerpts, photo essays, interviews, and manga/comics. We accept writing from authors of all cultural backgrounds, however, the focus of the issue concentrates on roots from across the Pacific, including East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian writers.

Deadline closes October 30, 2021.
