The word “haunting” has many meanings, and we want work that explores “hauntings” from many different angles, so send us your ghost stories, your obsessed and obsessions, your spirit-filled places, and terrifying evocative beauty. Though it is usually associated with tragedy and horror, “hauntings” is also distantly related to “home.”

Genres: Flash fiction, short story, narrative nonfiction, essay, and art/photography.
