About

The Fabulist Flash is a new digital subscription project featuring fresh, fantastical and speculative writings, delivered to subscribers each week. We define speculative and fantastical fiction expansively; surprise us! We do love science fiction, fantasy, intelligent horror, speculative fiction, literary fabulism, magic realism, mythic/folkloric works, near-future speculations, solarpunk/cli-fi, hopepunk, and genre subversions (crime, mystery, romance, westerns, thrillers, sea adventures, gothic, and quasi-realist works) that are anchored by some element of the fantastic.
