AIR surrounds us.

Invisible but everywhere, AIR can be gentle and playful spirit, or an aggressive and destructive force.

Winds lift and move water, driving the storms and waves that irrigate crops and shape shorelines.

The breeze can transport seeds, fertilizing the earth and spreading life in its wake.

AIR feeds fire, gives life to its burning creativity.

Our words and music vibrate within AIR; its gusts allow our species to communicate and sing with one and other.

AIR fills the spaces within our lives, it is the element that whispers dreams and lets the world dance.

TRANSMUNDANE PRESS is searching for stories centered on and about AIR for the next anthology in our series focusing on the classic alchemic elements, EARTH, AIR, FIRE, and WATER.

We enjoy reading well-crafted fantasy, horror, erotic, and science fiction tales, and we’re looking for authors with clean, heavily-edited writing to showcase alongside our established contributors.
