Description
Note: will not respond in case of rejection.
Speculative ecofiction is defined as stories that explore our place in the natural world and our relationships to non-human life (e.g. focused on themes related to ecology, nature, the environment, climate, conservation, wildlife and animal rights) and that also fall into speculative genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, anthropomorphic fantasy, Weird horror and New Weird.
Ecofiction engages with some of the most urgent issues facing us today and also looks ahead to the possibilities of the future. Even when dealing with dark or tragic themes, these stories are expressions of our human connection to the most beautiful planet we know, and to all of earthlife.
