Description

Tales of speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy and horror that blur the boundaries of what is and what isn't.

There's not anough great speculative fiction. There can never be enough.
Hence, this magazine - an independant quarterly (at least) e-zine of crackingly good speculative fiction. We are looking for speculative short fiction up to about 5000 words.

Publication format : eBook, generated and distributed through Smashwords

Word Length : Short fiction 2000 to 5000 words.

Guidelines: Short works of speculative fiction containing some or more elements or sensibilities of science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism, alternate history, folklore, and/or related ‘nonrealist' genres and subgenres. No, I'm not sure what this all means either. I'm not overly keen on excessive porn, or graphic violence. Not that I'm a prude – it just limits your market, man! Also, sword and sorcery fantasy (unless served up with a side-dish of pure ‘speculative fiction' twist) probably isn't going to find a place here.

Rules: No reprints. Original, unpublished fiction only. No simultaneous submissions.

Payment : No advance. Shared royalties on sales.

Rights : First rights, electronic.

Submit: .doc or .rtf files only please.
