Folklore Review is a literary magazine for magic enthusiasts. We reject the stance that speculative fiction lacks the quality of realism. That stories about gnomes, fairies, and fauns don’t hold substance. Let the elitists live in beige–we want more.
We want to read stories inspired by folklore. Tales about fantastic creatures, fairy rings, and witch hunts. Whether your story exists in the real-world, pulling on the strings of magical realism, or lives in a different realm entirely, we want to read it.
Above all, Folklore Review is about great writing. We’re here to share outstanding works that the gatekeepers of the literary world would otherwise reject. For us, it’s about quality. And gnomes.
