About

Labyrinth Inhabitant Magazine is looking to publish well-written fiction dealing with characters who find themselves trapped in ancient, labyrinthine and/or baffling artificial environments. Relevant articles and poetry are also welcome. It's my hope that by focusing on a very specific theme, Labyrinth Inhabitant authors will create a dialogue with each other through their stories and perhaps make some original observations about humanity's relationship with our increasingly artificial world.

Collapse section Fiction Closed

I’d like a variety of labyrinth stories that would be categorized as science fiction, fantasy and horror. The central characters should live, at least for the time being, in some kind of artificial structure that they don’t fully understand and which they find difficult or impossible to escape. Be imaginative in your conception of what type of artificial environment your characters might find themselves in, but please don’t submit stories with no connection or only a tenuous connection to the labyrinth subgenre. A good Labyrinth Inhabitant story will usually be about the characters’ relationship to the setting, and will always have a setting that is memorable and interesting. In particular, good labyrinth stories often involve the characters’ attempts to resolve some mystery about the environment around them.
