Special Submissions Call! Undercity Magic! The Castle gates are open for a special submissions call from 9 October to 13 November! The theme?? Undercity Magic!

Fascinated by mythology? Ioanna Papadopoulou’s “Winter Harvest” tells the story of Demeter and Persephone with unflinching rawness, while “The Castaway and the Witch” is a dream-like journey into myth and romance.

👀July 2026 Poetry👀 "Wintering Grounds" is a poem by @brokenswanquill.bsky.social about the sorrow that comes with unbridgeable distance and the unsettled ache of whatever love might remain Read it here: havenspec.com/poetry/winte...

"Scoop" was written for the Apparition Lit flash contest theme Ice Cream but found the perfect home at small wonders. I love dystopian stories, and always have. Everyone who reads this one tells me how sad it is. smallwondersmag.com/...

Publication day is always a spark of joy. Thank you @keychild.bsky.social! "A Snapdragon's Kiss" was written for a novella I've been working on. There's lots of nature magic (and of course trees 🌲🌳🪾) "Riverlord" and "How the Wind and Rain Were Separated" are about love, and the falling from it.

A memory of summer. Blurry on the edges, but still beautiful, and full of the scent of rose petals 🌹

One of those random book finds among the discounted books left outside a bookstore meant to entice a passersby inside. Confession: It worked on me 💎📚

Recently read this one! (It had been on my list for awhile 😅)

Pretty in red 🍁

There are poems in here I reread multiple times in a day, not because they were difficult to understand, but because I wanted to bask in them. I highly recommend it! 🌳
