Current Issue

"This year's collection of stories invites the reader to abandon his mind and step into the experiences of others."

This issue opens with the winners of our Sudden Fiction Contest — a celebration of the short-short story, in which a complete narrative unfolds in just a few pages — followed by the full-length short fiction selected this year. If these stories speak to you, consider submitting your own work.
