Synkroniciti is excited to reveal the slate of artists contributing to our “Haunting” issue, debuting December 15th. We had a large number of submissions, particularly in short story and the quality was quite high. The cover contest was won by Kerri Merriam of Ontario, Canada, image below, and the short story contest by Kurt Newton of Connecticut. Poetry has not yet concluded, but we will have that for you next week.

This is a wide interpretation of haunting that links the modern and the ancient, the urban and the wilderness, the creepy and the whimsical, grief and joy. There is something for everyone.
