Multiethnic Issue TOC
The TOC for our special multiethnic issue, due out June 1, 2010, has been finalised with a total of thirteen short stories and one poem. Our objective was to produce a special issue with a wide array of settings and characters, stepping away from the usual Lovecraftian grounds in New England and into distant, terrifying shores. The selected stories deal with powerful African magic, a Japanese empress who is not who she seems, a Hmong painter with an affinity for disturbing images, and more. With authors hailing from Argentina to Russia, it is an interesting mix of diverse cultures and voices, all giving way to a uniquely-different Lovecraftian story. The cover art for this issue is by the wonderful Cyril Van Der Haegen.
Without further ado, we present the TOC:
Sanford Allen – Kali Yuga
Nadia Bulkin – Red Goat, Black Goat
Gustavo Bondoni – Eyes in the Vastness of Forever
Raymond G. Falgui – The Hunger Houses
Travis King – The Doom that Came to Yamatai
Juan Miguel Marín – The Bats in the Walls
Mari Ness – Quoth the Cultist
Daniel José Older – Death on the Fine Line
Pamela Rentz – Estelle Makes the Casino Run
Charles R. Saunders – Jeroboam Henley’s Debt
Ekaterina Sedia – The Great Performance of Kadir Bey
Caleb Jordan Schulz – The Mountain that Eats Men
Bogi Takács – Bottomless Lake Bus Stop
Bryan Thao Worra – A Model Apartment

“Multiethnic”: Codeword for “Not Anglo-saxon.”
Non-standard-European or North American, period.
There are far too many stories out there that are set in American suburbs or some generic Big City where everybody’s of Northern European descent. Nothing wrong with them, but they shouldn’t be the majority of stories when they represent a minority of the human population and folklore, either.
Not like the genre is exactly lacking in Anglo-Saxon stories.
