Spectral Visions Press is an innovative new publishing house located at the University of Sunderland. The Press exists to further the University’s objective of providing a life-changing student experience, whilst contributing to cutting-edge research.
Governed by high-profile academics and industry professionals, Spectral Visions Press is pioneering in that it consists of more than 80 skilled student volunteers, who are at undergraduate, post-graduate and doctoral levels. In 2015, Spectral Visions Press shall be publishing three, unique titles, including a second anthology of creative writing, a student-led magazine ‘Wearside Craic’, and an academic journal which is appropriately entitled ‘Monstrum’.
Spectral Visions Press materialised following the success of Spectral Visions: The Collection (2014) which was celebrated as ‘…the product of creative minds well versed in the stylistics… sitting squarely – and honourably – within the great tradition of Gothic anthologising’ and heralded as a ‘lively and positive contribution to the vitality of a genre’ by Professor William Hughes, Bath Spa University.
