As cold and silence envelopes the earth, and all things lie dormant, we all move inward and lean toward hibernation, shadow work and self-reflection. From all over the world, within the darker days live many celebrations of good triumphing over evil, light’s victory over darkness and of seeds planted deep, waiting to slowly reach for the sun and burst into life.
What we want: Your unique, fictional stories of the dark and stillness and what light brings out of the shadows. Stories of transformation. Stories of cold forests, elves and magickal places. Stories of witch magick, the occult and ghosts. We want modern retellings of Yaldā, Soyal, Roman Saturnalia or the Dongzhi Festival. Stories of the winter solstice, Bodhi Day, Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Omisoka, and Kwanzaa. Look into your ancestral roots and tell us about the long dark nights and short, but bright, days of light your ancestors endured, and tell us how they made it through.
We reply to all submissions that follow the guidelines and do not insult us. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere.
