welcome to pumpernickel house, a bi-annual journal of contemporary fairy tale, fabulism, magical realism, the strangely beautiful and the beautifully strange. behind this door you'll find women who are birds, girls who love golems, beastly babies washed ashore by the tide, and a batch of baba yaga's special cookies. get lost in the woods and stumble upon the intersection of past and future in the poetry of jennifer lynn krohn, or step across our threshold and end up wandering the margins between modern brooklyn and myth in maya beck's "birdland." pass through throne rooms of ice, hospital halls, and wedding parties, but be ever aware, dear reader, and keep in mind: the line between a fairy tale and a horror story is often thinner than a hair, and once you pass beyond the veil between here and elsewhere, there's no guarantee you will ever find the path to return. featuring work by christi nogle, lenny dellarocca, gj gillespie, margaret stetz and more.
