-Any quality visual art or writing (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc.) on the subject of sex and/or death is welcome. The specific theme of Vol. 4 is "torture and lustmord in history," e.g. anything from the Circus Maximus and early Christian martyrdom to Inquisitional zeal and Sadeian decadence to the exploits of Jack the Ripper, H.H. Holmes, and Fritz Haarmann. (I'll probably save Nazisploitation for a future issue.)
-Writing: Try to keep it at 1,000 words or less due to spacing issues. DOC, TXT, or RTF format (or just copy and paste into the body of an email).
-Art: Mass Culture is designed at 7.5" x 5" with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch, so do keep that in mind if you're thinking of submitting a full-page spread (or more). Previous issues have been entirely in b&w and greyscale, though I'm planning on introducing minimal amounts of color in this one. Format: JPEG or PSD.
