Moonday Mag #7: Lost
Print: $19.99 / Digital: $1.99 or free with print purchase
A letter from the editor, July 2025:
The initial prompt for this issue was simple: “ghost story.” But as we received your submissions, an interesting trend emerged. The narratives you crafted weren’t about being haunted by ghosts, but rather about feeling haunted—in general. It seems that we become the ghosts who haunt our own lives, if we’re not careful. If we let ourselves drift a little too far away, we can get a little lost.
So it is, Moonday Mag: Lost. In “Portfolio” by Christopher Woods, a photographer places himself between final moments and the next. In “Hide and Seek” by Keller Agre, a child loses track of where a fun game ends and a dire choice begins. In “A Trick of The Light” by Katie McCall, something ghoulish may be on the loose. In “Somewhere Over” by Laurel Hanson, a regimented man faces his ultimate impossibility. And in “In a World I Cannot Reach” by Erin L. Swann, a girl risks everything to find the one person she can never get back. Also featured are ten poems that feel at once relatable and fantastical, plus fifteen stunning artworks to tie it all together. (This issue’s visual artists are mostly teenagers, which feels very fitting for the theme.)
I hope you find a quiet moment to get lost in this issue, but I truly hope you never lose yourself.
Featuring fiction by Keller Agre, Laurel Hanson, Katie McCall, Christopher Woods, Erin L. Swann; poetry by Isabelle Morrissey, Brian Koester, Shannon Cates, Janet Ruhe-Schoen; and art by Jahin Claire Oh, Matt Frantz, Yoonji Huh, Jace Ambwani, Jinyoung Chloe Park, Ammar Alfarah, Uee Jung
