Seaside Gothic — Submissions

Overview
Seaside Gothic positions itself at the confluence of the literary and the liminal, seeking work that explores the uncanny, the coastal, and the gothic. The magazine provides a platform for writing that navigates the porous boundaries between the mundane and the eerie, the historical and the haunted. With a focus on atmosphere and psychological depth, Seaside Gothic offers contributors a space where the strange and the beautiful intersect. The editors are attentive to voices that resonate with the gothic tradition while pushing against its conventions. They welcome narratives that are as comfortable in the fog as in the sunlight, and poems that echo with the rhythm of the tide. The magazine's scope is international, but its sensibility is rooted in the particular—the specific landscape, the local myth, the personal haunting. While the magazine does not currently list a reading fee or prize, its commitment to literary quality is evident in its curation. Contributors can expect a discerning read and a platform that values craft over trend. Seaside Gothic is not for those seeking the merely sensational; it is for writers who understand that the gothic is a mode of inquiry, a way of asking what lies beneath the surface.
