We had a sellout crowd at the National Library of Scotland this evening for our blether about Frankenstein and Scottish Gothic. The tie-in exhibition, which runs for two more weeks, features Mary Shelley’s letters and much more besides.

Submissions are open for fiction, poetry and essays! As always, we are looking for work that challenges, re-imagines or undermines the status quo, work that pushes at the boundaries of form and function, work that is striking and beautiful. guttermag.co.uk/submit
