Issue II. - Spring 2026
Editor's note
Spring is here, with days swinging from hailstorm to sunshine. The daffodils are out, but the grass is frosty in the morning. T-shirt days, wood-fire nights - there is a certain Gothic quality to it all, and it isn't only London Fog HQ feeling it. New Wuthering Heights movie, anyone?
Gothic fiction is living its Renaissance, and I've been enjoying all the new stories it brought my way - including the submissions we received for this issue. I'm thrilled to share our selection with you!
But before we dive in, I must thank the wonderful people without whom this issue wouldn't exist: my friend and co-editor, Chris Morris, for helping me tackle the slush pile and the editing - I couldn't have done it without you! Jen and Nadia for reading the selected stories for this issue and creating art with soul. All the featured authors of this issue for trusting us with their words. Keba Ghardt for supporting us via Ko-fi.
Without further ado, let's jump into the stories. Grab yourself a London Fog, lay your picnic blanket under a blossoming tree and admire the new art outside the church. Peak through the window if you're drawn to the music - but be careful not to touch your shadow. And before your old vices erase you, see if you can outrun Jesus in a marathon.
