Our upcoming theme is still “Activism or the Trickster” and we’ll read submissions up until it’s time to start coding the issue, so if you missed the deadline, please go ahead and send in your story, poem, piece of art, music, or video. If you’ve already sent it and haven’t heard from us, we’re reading now and will respond by the 25th.

Our November 1 issue will be “This is our Glorious Future or Steampunk.” If you have a work of some sort that would be appropriate to that issue, go ahead and send it now if you’d like. We’re looking forward to seeing what you all do with it.

If you know of an artist, musician, animator or other artist we might like to feature in our pages, drop us a note or leave a comment. We’d love the help stalking the wee beasties.

Next issue, due out July 20, the theme is “Activism or the Trickster”.  Don’t forget! Submissions close on June 30.

The following issue, due out October 20, the theme is “This is our Glorious Future or Steampunk”. Submissions close for that issue on September 30.

Catherine Lundoff has a charming short regency with good historical detail, Masquerade, in the lesbian-themed “The Wry Writer,” and the story Poison, a contemporary by Nairne Holtz, is stunning. TWW also publishes articles and features, book reviews, and interviews, and is nicely illustrated as well.

Of course, don’t forget that you have the opportunity to win a copy of The Revenant Road, the humorous horror by Michael Boatman, or Fire and Shadow, the YA romantic fantasy by Imogen Howson, or Closing Arguments, the urban fantasy/mystery by Sarah Avery during the Drollerie Press chat Sunday, June 1 at 4pm EDT in their chat room. The link will be in the sidebar at http://drolleriepress.com/Interact.

Murat Süyür gave us permission to use his Mermaid art, and we’ve added it to Page 33.

Some of our authors are pretty new and some are multi-published award winners. Some of it is comfy cozy good and some of it is oddly experimental, and it’s all in a wide range of genres. We very much appreciate the opportunity to showcase the work of these amazing people. I hope you’ll check out their websites and blogs and say hello.

Don’t forget to let us know what you think of this issue. It’s a little late, but once you see it, you’ll understand why. It’s HUGE.

Well, now I know what it can hurt.

I killed the website. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I did it. I confess. Membra Disjecta is a zombie publication. Zombies, however, aren’t our theme for this issue, so we’re running around like headless chickens (see? Zombie. We did the wrong ceremony) making it right; transforming it, if you’ll pardon the pun, into the transformation-themed issue we intended. We expect the new issue will be up shortly and will not want to eat your brains. Much.

Disclaimer: No actual chickens were harmed in the mutilation of this publication. It is 99% guaranteed to eat no more of your brain cells than you can actually spare. There are no warranties expressed or implied in this disclaimer. Use at your own risk.

The new issue will be coming out on April 20. Watch for it!
