Published monthly, we feature some of the best new voices in horror and science fiction from around the world.

Our monthly publication schedule consists of three pieces of short fiction and one novellette, along with nonfiction articles. Ebook editions are available from the 1st of each month.

Issue 11 starts with “The Silver City and The Green Place”, by Abi Godsell, which tells the tale of a breakthrough scientific experiment in artificial intelligence. Next up is “Unstitched Love” by Michael Bailey, which is all about a little girl making a teddy bear for her rather annoying sister, needless to say things don’t quite turn out as planned.
“Sky Painter”, by Michael John Grist is an epic fable about a fallen king and the love he left behind, and we close of the issue with a virtual reality noir murder mystery entitled "Alpha & Omega" by Paul Marlowe.
Our feature interview for this month is with author of The Mall, SL Grey, who is actually the pseudonym of Louis Greenberg and Sarah Lotz .
And don’t forget the non-fiction, we have Writers Cornered interviews with all four of our authors, an article on the feasibility of true AI and a wacky piece on psychotic toys and why we love them.
