Perseid Prophecies - Fiction (Nonfiction)



Description
Perseid Prophecies is a quarterly digital magazine featuring science fiction, weird fiction, horror, fantasy, and fact!

Our goal is to feature compelling and exciting stories that take us to other worlds and alter our perception of our own. We are drawn to stories that explore deep and ancient secrets, far flung futures, and everything strange and wonderful in between.

As a speculative fiction magazine, we’re looking for a broad range of genres. This may include, but is not limited to:

Science fiction of all flavors
Weird fiction
Cosmic horror
Supernatural or paranormal horror
Superhero
Fantasy, especially of the darker variety
Exciting or topical non fiction science articles
While these are our preferences, we’ll entertain most stories that offer something outside the commonplace of real life.

Beyond genre, we’re interested in compelling characters, exciting or intriguing conflicts, and well crafted narratives. Experimental fiction is welcome, provided it conforms to these guidelines.
