DM ~ Frühlingsstimmen
celebrates the abundance of voices from around the
world and beyond the grave that spring forth with coloratura brio,
whether through drama, humour, or poetic music. Drawn from the legendary pages of
Danse Macabre – An Online Literary Magazine, connoisseurs of multihued
letters will be enchanted by the ample selection of fifty literary
entertainments awaiting them in
DM ~ Frühlingsstimmen
an e-anthology of the macabrely to remember.
Goulash (Gulyás in the original Hungarian) is primarily a soup, or stew, comprised of various and sundry ingredients, both hearty and well-spiced. In both Czech and Slovak, guláš means "mishmash". Here, DM ~ GOULASH celebrates well-spiced letters brimming in colorful tastes, tones, styles, and voices, an international literary stew to satisfy bookish hungers for characters we have never met, images we have not yet dreamt, voices from afar - and within - we may never have otherwise heard. Featuring nearly fifty fictions, poems, and rare macabrely from beyond the grave, DM ~ GOULASH will not only satiate your imaginative appetites but slake your thirst for colour and zest in an increasingly deflavourised cultural landscape.
Comedy, like
tragedy, is in the eye of the beholder. One person’s pratfall is another’s
karma, butterfly effect, or joy. What makes one soul chortle might make another
choke on their ham sandwich. Laughter communicates nerves as much as delight.
But the notion of Commedia is more objective, and universal, a pronoun that acknowledges
both observational guile and stoic acceptance of quite a great deal of human
constructs, if not the human condition - or humanity itself. COMMEDIA celebrates
all manner of the human pratfall as only an anthology from Danse Macabre ~ An
Online Literary Magazine can. Though wry storytelling, the wit of poetry, and
the wisdom of wags passed, COMMEDIA will delight lovers of letters with its
dark hilarity and macabre merriment.
Drawn in part from one of DM's most beloved issues, KISMET features bespoke translation of acclaimed expat Iranian poet Ali Abdolrezaei, immortal classics of the macabrely from F. Sheridan Le Fanu and Elliott O'Donnell; poetry from Peter Marra (Peep-O-Rama) and Peter Weltner (The One-Winged Body); fiction from UK film critic Martyn Conterio and Robert J. Gregg (Sam and the Fall of the Wall), not to mention more than a few literary surprises of the sort readers worldwide have delighted to in the pages of DM for nearly a decade. KISMET celebrates this shared joy in the unusual and the fantastic.
Eallra hālgena ǣfen / all saints' evening fetes the spirits of October. New poetry from DLW Pesavento, and Andrés Wilson unfolds the cornucopia of dreams and the
change of seasons. Fresh fiction from Rumjhum Biswas and Patti
Somlo colors the dark shadows of the soul and the mysteries of the night.
Voices such as Sabine Baring-Gould and Elliott O’Donnell shimmer from beyond
the grave, framing childhood's dusk to eternity's unknown bounty. Did we
mention coloratura feuilleton on Mozart's skull, too? Eallra hālgena
ǣfen / all saints' evening above all celebrates macabre opulence, for gourmands of letters to enjoy year ‘round.
Romance darkly in AMOUR SOMBRE, featuring authors from around the world and beyond the grave (including
Arlene Ang, Bruce Bond, Bob Chester, Katerina Fretwell, Robert P. Kaye, Roxanne
Hoffman, Gregory Kimball, Adam Moorad, Farida Samerkhanova, and Meg Sefton) AMOUR
SOMBRE caresses readers with the chill of ardour, the thrill of passion, and
the poisonous pills of the melancholy and the macabrely, a cornucopia of dark
delights that will grip you like friendly (and perhaps not so friendly) shadows
in the night.
They say good things come to those who wait. Or almost die
in the process, as the case may be. Truly, hunger is the most savory of spices,
and anticipation the greatest complement to pleasure. DM ~ WEIHNACHTSMA RKT
is your supreme literary buffet of feiertagsgeschichten (holiday stories)
poésie saisonnière (seasonal poetry). Lovers of noir coloratura will groan
under the weight of bookish delights from around the globe and beyond the
grave, the finest fare on the literary web: prose plum puddings spiced with
nutmeg and rum, hearty portions of DM’s Prix de Noël winners topped with poetic
sprigs of holly, hidden holiday crackers filled with mystery and caprice,
flurries of powdered sugar, perhaps the faintest whiff of classical sulphur and
that tang of bitter almond...ach du liebe, what a carve-up! Let no e-book
reader in your macabrely circles go without DM ~ WEIHNACHTSMARKT this holiday
season!
Vampires, desire, and
the opiate of nostalgia. Jim Crow, popcorn, and ticket stubs. Angry dykes, God,
and the G-spot. STONEWALL crafts a mosaic of rainbow-hued glass, one
inimitable voice at a time. Poems look through the glass darkly, seeing
heartbreaks of the past in the mirror; they huddle under the quilt of our lives
in hilarity; they speak across borders and generations to find the hidden music
in our separate yet entwined lives. Short fictions scrutinize persons from
every corner of our shared consciousness; they fashion portraitures of places
long gone, revealing lush melodies in the present; they unfold truths in the
most painful, hilarious, sensual, and macabre traditions. Drawn from the more riotous pages
of DM©, STONEWALL is
an all-in, all-family, no-holds-barred anthology readers of the pink macabrely
cannot miss.
Raw sushi, hide and
seek, and small holes. Horoscopic tales, tongues of fire, and looking at the
m/f in the mirror. Tom Bradley's Lemur, fables of Julie Newmar, and the Bride
of Frankenstein. The second half of the powerhouse anthology from DM Publications,
STONEWALL REDUX ups the ante on pink letters, defying all manner of
stereotypes, masques, and thrice-told tails to plumb deeper into the seamy,
steamy, and dreamy corners of those who dance to the rhythm of their own queer
music. Progressive literary mavens and macabristas alike will relish STONEWALL
REDUX, an international mélange celebrating both awareness and awakening across
the same-sex zeitgeist.

behind, from mythological Greece to
