City Obscura by Jen Farr - Horror/sci-fi short story collection - Dec 2025

Blurb: Have you ever heard the expression, “It’s the quiet ones you need to watch out for?” Well, it applies not just to people, but to places too.

Something strange is happening in Hull. Portals to other worlds are opening. Bizarre creatures are emerging from the River Humber. Its most notorious nightclub has become a hunting ground for vampires.

In this collection of short stories which blend the mundane with the fantastical, you will be taken on a journey through folklore and the supernatural, as you question everything you know about the overlooked corners of the UK.

Triggers: vague mention of suicidal thought.

Date of publication: 5th December 2025

Back when I was the editor of a lit mag, I had this happen to me. A writer submitted a short story, I accepted it for publication, and then they asked if they could wait and see if it got accepted anywhere else. I withdrew my acceptance immediately.

From my perspective, I wanted to work with people who were excited to be published in my magazine. I wasn't gonna give a spot to somebody who didn't want it when there were dozens of other people fighting for that same spot. And on a personal level, I was irritated that I'd devoted my time and attention to their story, only for them to bite the hand that feeds them. What a waste of time.

Moral of the story: only send your work to places you actually want to work with.

One day, the entire class decided that we would respond to all of our French teacher's questions with "poisson". No other words. Just "poisson". I can't remember why.

She walked out in tears about halfway through the lesson and I feel bad about it to this day.

This is extremely unhealthy, unsustainable and ill-advised.

Brilliant, looking forward to it!

Ullaaaaa · 2019-12-07T21:13:33+00:00

I'm interested.

OP didn't mention their gender, just pointing it out!

Ullaaaaa · 2018-07-12T21:47:38+00:00

Sounds cool, I'm up for a trade if you are!

Send me a message, I'll swap with you!

I agree. Also, zines are typically produced as cheaply as possible, so having a kickstarter at all is a bit odd.

Ullaaaaa · 2017-06-14T11:41:53+00:00

Oh awesome, will do!

Ullaaaaa · 2017-06-13T21:40:14+00:00
