Mycelia Issue 2 contributors

The inaugural issue of Mycelia presented a variety of visual and literary approaches to the weird and the eerie, including excellent weird fiction from well-known Scottish writers, adamantine experimental prose and poetry from punk intellectuals and new authors, as well as dazzling ecological sci-fi vistas and sombre, awesome illustration.

Issue 1 was launched at an ambitious evening event that presented six of our authors reading their works and welcomed three external artists and curators to celebrate Mycelia with screenings of artists’ films, live cabaret theatre and superbly selected music on vinyl throughout the show. This launch took place on 26 October 2018, at The Glad Café in Glasgow.
