SPRING 2020

When we began the process for our inaugural volume of OCCULT STUDIES in December of 2019, seeking submissions on the theme of APOCALYPSE, we had no idea that we would be printing it several weeks into self-quarantine, during the global health pandemic of COVID-19. There are so many unknowns right now. So many plans canceled. So many jobs lost. So many lives cut short. But there are also so many people organizing to arrange care for their communities. For the elderly. For the immunosuppressed. For those facing food scarcity or housing insecurity. And there is hope that when we emerge from this, we build a world better than the one we left behind.
