That is not dead which can eternal lie. – Abdul Alhazred
When you cut into the present, the future leaks out. – William S. Burroughs
1995: The last known year Plutonics was published. The fallout from D.C. Barker’s early 1990s publications was beginning to pass and Miskatonic Virtual University entered a period of remission. As the dust settled (and sedimented) and other research groups took over, Plutonics lie dormant. After over 20 years, however, Plutonics: A Journal of Non-Standard Theory is back for its 13th volume to be published in early 2020.
For our re-inauguration, we are looking for contributions in the form of art, poetry or prose, fiction, essays, and more that attempt to engage with unorthodox theories (be they scientific, philosophic, occult, etc.) and the Outside in ways that fall outside the purview of traditional academic journals.
Submission guidelines are minimal. Written works can be any length and if citations are included, they should be consistent and at least understandable. Works of art ought to be original (or heavily remixed) while plagiarized works ought to have an accompanying justification. Please email all submissions to mvupress@gmail.com and include the following information: title of your work, what you’d like to be called, a 3-5 line biography (optional), and any special requests. If your submission is of the more traditional academic variety, an abstract and keywords are always welcome.
The deadline for submissions is February 28th, 2020. We will be publishing on March 13th, 2020.
