Attention writers: you still have a few days to submit your poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction and drama to D152, Descant’s forthcoming Ghosts and The Uncanny issue!

Packages postmarked on or before March 1, 2010 will be accepted for review. D152 is slated for publication in Spring 2011, under the guidance of our talented guest editors Alex Maeve Campbell and Christina Francisco.

We look forward to receiving — and reading — your work!

An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.

— Charles Dickens

For this special issue, Descant turns ghost hunter and dares to explore the murky connections between life and death, science and superstition, folk beliefs and fictions. We are looking for apparitions of all kinds. Do you have paranormal poetry? Are you haunted by the past? Do you have a ghost of an idea? Perhaps you’d like to address the role of ghosts in literature and film. We want to document the existence of ghosts, both literal and metaphorical, on our pages.
