Fiction Can Be Stranger: Issue 1

Our first exclusive issue now available online! This contains two stories of peculiar science-fiction written by Finley Little and illustrated by Asia Kazub.

"In Search"-

"In front of her, the tarantula-like species limped its askew body off the dark soil path, seeing a better place to balance itself at the side of the road, and moved to the configuration of sunken rocks closer to the mountain’s base. All but one limb stooped above their abdomen in its defensive stance against her. "

Inspired by the pulp novels of the 1950's and 60's we will take you on a mountain trek through a planet of odd biology and existential triggers. Join the journey, follow the search, find out what is on the other side of the mountains...

"Shudder With The World"-

“'Solar system,' he corrected.

"Fear had retracted from the tones of her accented voice, just as it had with his. He decided the exhaust of energy was repressing their strong emotions. Their dreads (realisations of the assured future) had been boxed away by their physical passions."

What if a secret assured you fame and glory? What if that secret meant nothing but destruction? What if a night of capitalised intercourse leads to an unforeseeable blunder, that death seems like an easier alternative to going on? Featuring love, loss and humiliation all mixed into an apocalyptic cocktail.
