Medusa Tales
Description
At Medusa Tales, we seek speculative stories (fantasy, sci-fi, and horror) of human transformation and immobilization. As our name suggests, this includes fantasy stories about Medusa turning victims to stone. Or a sci-fi tale about a laser weapon that converts its targets into mannequins. From stasis pods gone wrong to steampunk carbon freezing, the only limit is your imagination, so unleash it!
