Description

FANTASY MAGAZINE is a digital magazine focusing exclusively on the fantasy genre. In its pages, you will find all types of fantasy-dark fantasy, contemporary urban tales, surrealism, magical realism, science fantasy, high fantasy, folktales_and anything and everything in between. FANTASY is entertainment for the intelligent genre reader-we publish stories of the fantastic that make us think, and tell us what it is to be human. In this issue's short fiction, Lowry Poletti's "The Dead Return in Strange Shapes" explores what binds us to the past, and Malda Marlys takes us east of the sun and west of the moon in "A Princess With a Nose Three Ells Long"; in flash fiction, Cynthia Gomez wants us to know that "The Books Would Like a Word," and in "Secondhand" S.L. Harris revisits a different fairytale adventure from an unusual perspective; for poetry, we have "The Mermaids of Magonia" by Carina Bissett and "Food for Thought" by Lisbeth Coiman. Plus essay "The Societal Cost of Magic" by Moses Ose Utomi, author of The Lies of The Ajungo and "The Mirror Test."
