Apparition Lit to Close

Literary speculative fiction magazine Apparition Lit will close at the end of 2024.

The magazine was founded in 2017 by Rebecca Bennett, Clark Doty, Amy Robinson, and Tacoma Tomilson, who all served as senior editors.

In a post on Patreon, the editors thanked their staff and contributors, and explained, “It comes down to this: we’re tired and most of all, we miss writing for ourselves.”

Apparition Lit is no longer accepting new subscribers, and the magazine’s Patreon will close at the end of 2024. The website will stay up for “as long as possible.” The final original issue will be published in October 2024, with two issues of reprints to follow. The Monthly Flash Fiction Challenge will continue through the end of the year.

For more information, see the announcement on Patreon.
