About From glowing eyes in the dark to the brief shimmer of starships, there are other realities on the brim of discovery for those daring to look! It may come in the form of visiting creatures, new inventions, pure magic or a deeply subjective perspective; but we know that other ways of existing are lurking out there.For our ninth anthology, we want the stories that go beyond the boundaries of the known world; that dive deep into the imaginary, the mad, the uncanny or the simply unbelievable. We want to expand the limits of what is possible, and dive into the uncharted waters of experimental, speculative, or just plain weird.OUT THERE is an anthology for stories that engage with new ways of being, and that embrace unapologetic weirdness. Between literary and experimental, sci-fi and speculative, that are no rules as to how you interpret the prompt; be as metaphorical or literal as you wish – as long as you promise to take us on an unforgettable journey.
