“Bright Lights, Dark Millenium” by E. C. Dorgan in Issue 7 of Gamut Magazine got some love over at @reactormag: “What I love about this story is that it isn’t an Eldritch being dark fantasy but also a commentary on colonialism, assimilation (particularly with regards to Indigenous identities), and the way we can eagerly participate in our own cultural destruction without necessarily realizing it."

@SilentTompkins Sadly, we are no longer accepting poetry at this time. Apologies for the incorrect information shared on the post.

@HouseofGamut For poetry, do you want each piece subbed separately, or do you want them all in the same document…also, what’s your limit? Five?
