Mythic Delirium 2.4
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedThe April-May-June 2016 issue of Mythic Delirium celebrates spring with three stories of fey strangeness from three writers new to the pages of our magazine. Roshani Chokshi reveals the fate of those who seek the fox feast, Amy Aderman offers a bright take on an inescapable curse, and Alisa Alering (an alumna of Clockwork Phoenix 4) spins an ekphrastic tale of preternatural sisters.
Our poems this time come from Theodora Goss, Virginia M. Mohlere, Sandi Leibowitz, Carina Bissett, Danial Ausema, and A.J. Odasso, with meditations on the perilous magic inherent in bears, swans, sharks, and other animal forms, and explorations of aerial biology and genetic identity.
Our evocative cover photograph comes from Gary Every, making his debut as a cover artist for us after many appearances as a poet over our 16-year history.
We hope you enjoy this otherworldly spring bloom.

Flash Fiction Online Issue #30 March 2016
Tags: No Author Royalties CollectedThe March 2016 issue of Flash Fiction Online. We don’t have to go very far from home to find the fantastic. In fact, this month, you can find it right here, safe from your sofa, protected by the anonymity of the internet. Here we give you three tales of the strange and unreal—oh, and one story about chess, which, depending on your perspective, may qualify as well.
We’ll begin with two earthbound stories from Flash Fiction Online alumni, KJ Kabza and Shannon Peavey.
From Mr. Kabza, “All Souls Proceed,” a ghostly tale rich with local culture.
From Ms. Peavey, “Millepora,” a tale of change and acceptance.
And from an FFO Newbie, “This Is the Sound of the End of the World” by Matt Dovey, a ‘galaxy-far-far-away’ offering with a healthy serving of heart.
Finally, this month’s reprint story–the promised chess story–the beautifully written “Opening Move,” by Xin Rong, which originally appeared at writingthecity.sg, where it won first prize in the Island of Dreams contest.
