The Varma Gothic Literature Contest is held every Halloween to honour the late Professor Devendra Varma, for whom the contest is named. Varma taught at Dalhousie for 30 years, and had a gothic flare and love for fiction that inspired his stu- dents. Bill Blakeney, a graduate of the Dalhousie English department, was especially moved by Varma’s character and so decided to fund this contest by donating $750.00 for prizes and two cases of blood red wine for celebrations. The contest is only open to declared English and/or creative writing majors, and each year becomes increasingly more popular. This year nine students were asked to read at the Varmania event, held at the Grawood on Halloween, out of 40 submissions of poetry and fiction. A panel of three judges (Shashi Bhat, Jaime Sugiyama, and Carrie Dawson) chose the three most impressive pieces with a Gothic setting or theme. —Jenna Harvie, Creative Editor Raising The Dead When my son has been dead sixteen come over.
