By Jim Horlock
“When was the first time you saw someone Float?” Nadia asked me.
I resented her for pulling that memory out from under the pile where I kept it.
We didn't have a universally agreed term for it back then, but everyone had seen the videos. More showed up every day, from grainy CCTV footage to crysta...

By Danai Christopoulou
Out of all the labyrinths in all the world she steps into yours.
You eat her.
You’re the monster.
By the time her softest bits—an earlobe, a pinky toe, a mouth that could be stretched into a smile or a scream—have melted on y...

by Claire Berry
Though escape pods were designed to accommodate up to twenty personnel each, only three people made it into C2A before it left the station. Charlie, the Mechanic, and me.
The Mechanic has been silent since the pod went dark. Charlie did, very flippantly, share his theory with us as to why t...

Devil’s Tooth

Hey, you. Come over here and have a look at something. Here in the shadows, behind the tents. That’s right…sshhhhh. The other vendors don’t know I’m here; not exactly.

So, postage is expensive. The cost of shipping a magazine out (just within the states) has increased by 70% since we started print subscriptions in Fall 2020. This is probably why it has taken this long to roll this benefit out, shipping with tracking is generally twice as expensi...
