With our next issue out in a matter of weeks, a quick heads up to authors: we're closing to new subs until early 2026.
We've some great pieces lined up in advance, and we don't want to keep people waiting for more than a year to see their work published. We'll be on the hunt again Jan 23rd...

Belfast Eastercon has been lots of fun, and @noumenon.bsky.social has been handing out Mythaxis Magazine bookmarks to anyone who'll take them (and maybe even a few who'd prefer not)

Time-sensitive submission opportunity, if you're weird and horrific.
Oops, thought I'd filled both 2025 issues of Weird Horror. I am 8k words shy in issue 11 (Fall). Instead of opening for a full month for 2 slots I am open today til Feb. 28, end of day.
No reprints. 5k words max. 2-cents per word. Simul subs okay. Send to weirdhorrormag (at) gmail (dot) com

Quick heads up - technical problems mean the Mythaxis site is down (excellently timed to coincide with the close of our current submissions window!). We'll have it back up ASAP.

New issue is imminent… in addition to our long- and shortform reviews, we welcome six original stories by contributors old and new, each with streaming audio!
A year ago we released our first all-crime issue, we're about to return to the scene - why not wait for us there?

I finished Distant Skies by @charlotteashley.bsky.social. WOW! It was so thought-provoking. Also stories by @aijiang.bsky.social, Glenn Clifton, @kateheartfield.com and more were great! Reading on!
