About

Stranger is an anthology for stories that look into unexpected places. We want real or magical, lyrical or experimental, as long as it finds that truth wasn't as simple as once thought. We are looking for stories inspired by our title – Stranger – and/or the cover artwork, Night is Calling, by James Fenner. All genres of writing are welcome, we want to read any stories that find that there is more out there than we once thought (in a real or metaphorical way)! More than any specific story or style, we want the emotional response the title and artwork evokes in you.
