About

Bring out the Fey! Stories about the Sidhe? Sprites? Pixies? Boggans and Goblins? How about those Gnomes? Looking for fictional stories involving the Fey Folk, both Seelie and Unseelie. From the campy to the deep and esoterical, from traditional faeries to the not-so-traditional (changeling kangaroos, anyone?), Western to Eastern, heck even Martian! Fantasy is obviously expected but all spec-fic genres welcome. Got a SF story about a Space Leprechaun invasion of Earth? Send it! Slipstream? Go for it! A slasher involving psychopathic trolls with chainsaws and a fetish for wearing human skin? Ehhh….aw heck, why not? The anthology will be done in flipbook format, with stories about Seelie faeries on one side and Unseelie faeries on the other. Planning for an even mix of Seelie and Unseelie stories, roughly 11 per side.
