You guys, I am SO EXCITED! I’m absolutely delighted that Shock Totem Magazine is resurrecting. I originally joined the team in my 20s and it was a game-changer for me. I developed a new family, I learned how things work on the editing side of the writing desk, and it was just an amazing experience. I was sad when ST closed her doors, and I’m thrilled that she’s reopening.

We were avalanched with submissions as soon as we reopened, we’re sorting through them as quickly as possible. It’s with great joy that I can announce that we accepted our first short story for the new issue. It’s a dark, beautiful thing that blends sorrow with shades of Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. The new issue will be a thing of delights.

Happy writing!
