    Posted on June 20th by Defenestration
    Welcome to the June 2009 issue of Defenestration, also known as "VI.VIII," also known as "Poetry and Prose and Zombies." Or something like that. There is definitely poetry, there is definitely prose, and there are definitely zombies. Not everywhere, mind you, but rather sprinkled here and there like chocolate chips atop a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We're still looking for good humorous fantasy fiction.

The deadline for humorous fantasy stories/articles/poems/artwork to be considered for the August issue is August 5th. Let us know it's a fantasy submission in your email.

Let's talk about right now. We've got a great issue this month: poetry by Clay Carpenter and Ross Lesse; prose by Dietrich Kalteis, Jon Alan Carroll, Sara Reihani, Samuel K., Greg Gerke, ...
