Examples of current interests include: publishing trends, collecting trends, reports on author and publishing events (awards programs, conventions, etc.), profiles of iconic figures in dark genre literature, comparative analyses between the works of different authors (both modern and classic), and essays pertaining to dark genre literature and related topics.

Tips: We are looking for engaging pieces that will be of interest to a broad cross-section of our readership – think literary but not academic.
