For the first issue of Volume 2, "Haunting Humanity", we welcome horror in all its forms, be it realistic or supernatural. We want the horror in everyday life, in the systems that fail us, in the realities we inherit, and the fears that shape us.

Still Here Magazine is a small rebellion against numbness & disengagement. We invite you to feel the emotions our writers bring to the page. It's an archive of staying through mental health struggles, grief, physical health struggles, transformation & so much more. We want to read about what keeps you tethered, what keeps you alive, and what you've learned by staying when it would've been easier to leave. We want to read the words you've been worried about being "too much". Still Here is a place for those who have felt unseen or unheard & for those who believe in authenticity over performance.
