About

We want entertaining, literate stories that straddle the edge of the dark, with three dimensional characters. We want dark fantasy, not horror...that is, there needs to be a supernatural element to your stories. We publish more straight science fiction stories these days, although we tend to prefer SF stories that have a dark slant. We publish established and brand new writers alike. If a story really sends us, we'll publish it without concerning ourselves with guidelines.
