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, Victor Forna takes us on a search for home in "Parebul of the Mother, Asked in Moonlight," and something allures from beyond in Jennifer R. Donohue's "Into the Dark"; in flash fiction, Jennifer Hudak gives a taste of preserved magic in "Sturgeon Moon Jam," and Sam Kyung Yoo draws a daring, imaginative escape in "The End of a Painted World"; for poetry, we have "Luminous" by Timmi Sanni and "What Chimerae Read" by Mary Soon Lee. Plus essay "All the King's Women: Annie Wilkes is the Mother Goddess of Cocaine" by Big Girl (PM Press) and Number One Fan (Mira) author Meg Elison. Enjoy!
