PFN – Boudin: The Online Home of The McNeese Review Seeking Submissions for the Halloween Issue about: Monsters
OCTOBER (Boo-din annual Halloween issue, featuring The Skinner Prize)
. . . It waits in between the shadows. It watches from just out of sight. The monster. The Other. The creature haunting the peripheries, guarding the boundaries . . .
For our Halloween Boo-din issue, we are looking for CNF, fiction, poetry, and hybrid work that explores horror and legends surrounding monsters. Your pieces should involve either a re-imagined classic creature, like vampires and werewolves, or a new imagining of a monster as a meaningful element. We are looking for the subtle, the creepy, the unsettling. We will not accept any pieces with gratuitous use of violence or gore.
All work will be read blind and chosen by former Managing Editor/McNeese MFA graduate Abigail Skinner, and the top piece will earn special mention/top placement, and a broadside of their work.
Email your work to boudin@mcneese.edu by September 15th, 2024. No fee! Aim to keep the fiction/CNF under 5,000 or so words. You may submit up to three poems/microfictions (under 500 words).
