Corner Bar Magazine A project of The Blotter Magazine (see other related projects). About Speculative fiction — we like the way it rolls off your tongue when you say those two words. You’re going to tell us — by what you send and by what you tell us in your messages what you’re interested in. We’re all about “what if?” We don’t have all of the answers (to anything, much less what will be the content of this little enterprise) so we’ll see as we go, and so will you. Themes? Maybe. More dragons, fewer robot-pirates? Could be, don’t know, yet. Want more insight into the editors' preferences? Read our interview with the editor(s).
