Extrasensory Overload: an anthology of speculative excess
Deadline to submit: December 29, 2023
Angry Gable Press is currently seeking short stories and poetry of science fiction, fantasy, and horror that explore the theme of sensory overload for inclusion in the collection called Extrasensory Overload: an anthology of speculative excess, edited by Naomi Simone Borwein and Chun Hyon Lee.
Sensory overload is traditionally defined as over stimulation of the senses, when light, sound, smell, taste, touch flood the brain, and distort perception—causing what easily translates into speculative aesthetics.
We are seeking submissions that actively engage readers with multi-sensory (more than one sense), supra (beyond the five senses), super or extra sensory experience (including paranormal, ESP, etc.) as part of speculative fiction and poetry.
Stories and poems must feature or make use of the theme, but the theme does not necessarily need to be central.
Extra sensory aesthetics pervade fiction and poetry, with many popular examples, but in light of the contemporary push towards blended and meta universes, we are looking for something new and topical.
We are open to creative interpretations of this theme and welcome pieces that seek to describe new experiences and sensory explorations.
We are not seeking stories of an erotic nature, though sex may be a topic.
We are not interested in anything featuring sexual violence, or unnecessarily graphic violence of any kind, against humans or animals.
