Note: Reprints Welcome
Submissions are open from February 01-28 2023 for TOWER VOL. 1: END. We accept all genres and encourage submissions of horror, sci-fi, fantasy and erotica.
For VOL. 1: END we’re looking for work that grapples with endings, death, dissolution and finality; sudden, brutal endings; torturously slow breakdowns; how do things come to an end and who gets to decide?
Some inspirations:
- The desperation for an ending to the tortures of Gretchen Felker-Martin’s No End Will Be Found
- The cyclical violence in “Herbert White” by Frank Bidart
- The clash between audience and artist’s expectations of an ending in ABC’s LOST
- The desperate battle against a prophesied ending in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
- The incomprehensible disappearance and abrupt end of an internet friendship in Lol Cuthbert’s “This journal has been deleted and purged”
- How we go on after the end of the world in Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Manhunt, Kentaro Miura’s Berserk and Torrey Peters’ Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones
- The role of geography and place in predetermining a life as in Cherie Priest’s Those Who Went Remain There Still
- The endless scroll of Tiktok
