Johnson Poetry: Wishes¸ Loosed by Robyn Groth Horror Alive by Cait Cole Double Dream by Bryanna Licciardi About Us Strangelet is a journal of speculative fiction that publishes fiction¸ poetry¸ nonfiction¸ graphic stories/comics¸ and artwork six times a year with an anthology at the end of each year. We showcase the intersection where genre and literature collide. We want works to reveal compelling¸ universal truths that speak to us-from starship computers¸ from dragons' mouths¸ and from everyday worlds tinged with miracles. Genres Strangelet primarily publishes short fiction but we also want exceptional artwork¸ essays¸ graphic stories¸ poetry¸ and reviews that explore the same space. We are looking for works of science fiction¸ fantasy¸ magical realism¸ and anything else that takes the reader to new worlds (or a shadowy corner of ours). Inspirations Our inspirations include authors and artists like Ray Bradbury¸ Octavia Butler¸ Philip K. Dick¸ Emily Carroll¸ Madeleine L'Engle¸ Gabriel Garcia Marquez¸ Rod Serling¸ and Ralph Steadman¸ who have broken the bounds of genre and literature (and even form) to keep us transfixed.
