University of Tampa Press Releases New Issues

The latest issue of Studies in the Fantastic, a journal devoted to the speculative, fantastic and weird in literature and other arts, is now available from University of Tampa Press. Steven Mollman, associate teaching professor of English and writing, co-edited this edition and contributed a chapter he co-authored, titled “The Speculative Detective Story in Literature and Media: Productive Contradictions of a Hybrid Genre.”

The 72^nd edition of Tampa Review, the oldest continuously published literary journal in Florida, also is available now. It features a collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and art, including the 2026 Danahy Fiction Prize winner, “The Body Electric,” by Dana Baylous. Baylous, of Houston, Texas, explores memory, identity, intimacy and the haunted landscapes of the American South in her work.

Tampa Review will publish its first themed issue, the “Florida Man” issue, next. Submissions are open through Dec. 31.
