A collaboration between the English Departments of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Jefferson Technical College and the editors of Empress Wu Books, GLITCH is the literary home for the Ji Yun Center for the Weird and the Speculative. This center is devoted to the study of speculative prose and poetry, including Chinese "true" tales of the strange (zhiguai), alongside Western glitch-in-the-matrix tales.

Like Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian scholars of old, The Ji Yun Center aims to collect  weird, sublime, and speculative literature, and put this work in conversation with everyday epiphanies and strange science—each area working to ontologically unsettle and reframe our worlds. We do so in order to dismantle the too-easy divisions between myth and truth, the holy and the mundane, and between the domains of the real and the imaginal.
