For this issue, we want stories and poems of hellscapes, ailments and/or transgression. We want fiction that straddles humour and deformity. We want inverted hymns and psalms masked as poems. We want mania and mysticism and insurrections against self-expression.

Most importantly, your stories and poetry will have passed the point of no return (PNR). There will be no coming back from what you have written.

For SHORT FICTION, send us between 1,000-8,000 words. For POETRY, send up to 10 poems. 

We do not accept works of non-fiction or literary criticism. 

All submissions should be set in 12pt Baskerville with a covering page including the title(s), word count and your contact details. Don't send us bios. If submitting fiction, please double space your work. All files should be sent as a Word Doc or PDF and named as follows: FirstName_LastName_DQP

Send your submissions to [email protected] with your FULL NAME and FICTION or POETRY as the subject line.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SUNDAY 15TH SEPTEMBER 23:59 GMT
