As the sun sets earlier and the nights grow chillier, we invite you to step into this month’s issue where bold, risk-taking, provoking stories are unveiled and killer visuals are lurking. Unlike its predecessors over the years, this issue is seasonal, using the eerie atmosphere that comes with Fall, October and Halloween to inspire stories that dive into the various facets of horror.
Some writers ventured into uncanny places, like the mystic community, “haunted” buildings on campus, horror film sets or the Phoenix Police Department. Others sought solace, whether it was through a short story about their baby blanket or poking fun at Halloweekend. One writer looked at this theme through the lens of culture, while another took the timing of this issue as an opportunity to satirize a specific kind of voter before the election. Finally, our feature story uncovers the dark web.
