Revenant, Issue 5: Folk Horror. Edited by Ruth Heholt, guest editor: Dawn Keetley, March 2020. Info and free download: revenantjournal.com.

Revenant is a peer reviewed e-journal dedicated to the study of the supernatural, the uncanny and the weird in any form and in any period. Committed to the scholarly, academic and creative exploration of the supernatural in its multiple, variable and fantastic forms this inter-disciplinary journal encourages discussion about the supernatural or the weird in literature, history, folklore, philosophy, science, religion, sociology and all aspects of popular culture. All areas of discussion are welcome and we invite for example discussions of classic Victorian ghost stories, articles about Shakespeare’s ghosts, standing stones, architecture, film, television, games or new media. Revenant promotes new writing on the supernatural, the uncanny and the weird and we are looking to publish ghost stories, tales of the extraordinary, poems and nature writing. Encouraging a cross-theoretical approach the super-natural may also be explored in relation to gender, sexuality, spirituality, post-colonialism, Marxism or eco-criticism. Revenant emphasises that the ‘natural’ is part of the super-natural and continues a long tradition of both serious and imaginative investigation.

I’m sitting in the back of a Lyft on my way to work.  Don’t get me wrong, I did TRY and take the train this morning but I missed the A by merely 3 seconds and after waiting for 10 minutes, realize that it would just make sense to take a car service.

Had I taken it directly from my home it could have been deemed a safe ride (AKA : free)  

GT was a place that I used to enjoy heading to filled with people I enjoyed seeing.  Now I feel that there is this dark cloud hanging over it.  It makes me sick to my stomach that everyone on set knows about MC and the photo.  One girl (the girl who brought me into the tangled web) isn’t even speaking to me anymore after saying that she will continuously have my back.  Energies have shifted and people are on edge.  I do want to know if my name was the only one that was told.  Was B’s name involved?  How did my name come up after asking time and time and time again to have my name withheld?  Everyone around me is hot about this situation and I can’t blame them but the cat’s out of the bag (or in this case, the dog’s out of the bun) and now everyone is looking at me like I’m a victim, someone to protect.

Cancel every relationship that only makes withdrawals- a decent billboard.

hi there! i’ve got two questions for you:

1) are you a friend of mine? (you as in the person reading this)

2) do you have a dreamwidth account OR are you willing to create one for the sake of being granted access to a sliver of my inner thoughts and personal life?

if you answered YES to both questions, please go ahead and add me on DW. once i confirm your identity as someone I know and trust, i will add you back.

for more info and the reasons behind this, see my recent tweets. this new e-journal is and will remain friends-only due to the nature of its content.
