The Waverly Review is a new magazine dedicated to publishing poetry that engages with the horror and gothic traditions. For its first volume, the editors seek work from writers between the ages of 14 and 24, a demographic often underrepresented in literary publishing. This call is an opportunity for young poets to contribute to a contemporary reimagining of genres that have long fascinated writers and readers alike. The horror and gothic modes offer rich territory for poetic exploration—the uncanny, the monstrous, the haunted, and the sublime. The Waverly Review appears to be positioning itself as a platform for voices that might otherwise be overlooked, and its no-fee submission policy reflects a commitment to accessibility. While the magazine does not specify a prize or payment, publication in a dedicated venue can provide valuable exposure and validation for emerging writers. The curatorial vision seems to favor work that is both literary and genre-conscious, likely valuing atmosphere, tension, and psychological depth over mere shock. Poets are encouraged to submit work that demonstrates a nuanced understanding of the gothic and horror traditions while also pushing against their conventions. The inaugural volume will set the tone for the magazine's future, making this an opportune moment for young writers to shape its identity.
