Featuring work by Victoria Large, Chris Leek, and Carol Deminski, this issue cups your breast and talks about sculpture, plays the predator in this street safari, and checks its hair in the rear view before taking off.

Keep those dark and offbeat flash fiction submissions coming and don’t forget to check out our companion Tumblr for a way to waste time.

Make first contact with Issue 2.19.

Featuring work by Michelle King, Diane Gillette, and Henry Kellogg, this issue  wallows in the bed it made, contemplates the wall, weeps clear liquid and doubles in size.

Get those submissions in and be a part of the first issue of 2012, the last year on Earth if those Mayans are to be believed.

Issue 2.18 is there for you, babe.

This issue stuffs in feathers or pulls them out, sucks the warmth from you, and gets a little bit of something miserable on the floor.

The holidays are upon us, so dust off your flash fiction humbugs and grinches and send them our way.

The Electrician

Featuring work by Gibson Culbreth, Armel Dagorn, Kristian Iliev, and Justin Hannah, this issue doesn’t notice the low humming, pops off like a champagne cork, tries to stomp every single ant, and thrashes in the water.

Keep those sweet, sweet submissions flowing.

Issue 2.14 makes for a strange bedfellow.

This issue throws dead serpents, snips bits off here and there, licks the blood from its teeth, and finishes behind the wall.

With October upon us, I’m looking for more horror/sci-fi/thriller stories, so if you have any of those rattling around in your document dungeons, send them my way.
