Strange Stories: Where myth and reality collide, and the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. In the realm of weird fiction, the line between the known and the unknown blurs, pulling us into worlds where the unexpected reigns. Here, the supernatural isn’t just a twist in the tale—it’s a force that taps into the deepest corners of the subconscious. These stories explore what it means to be human—or inhuman.

Welcome to a space where logic doesn’t always apply, and the narrative will leave you questioning what’s real.

If you’re a writer with a wild imagination and a story that defies the ordinary, submit your work today and share your strange vision with the world!

  • The Gray of the Streets
    by S. E. Costard
    There was a little girl with thin knees that sat in the back of the stage, behind the curtains, where the audience couldn’t see her, watching the dancer with rapt attention.

  • Communion
    by Dan Ericsson
    Communion, by Dan Ericsson There was nothing. Then there was Irving. The booth which he inhabited had not existed until he sat there. When he left, so would the table, the upholstered benches and the dessert advertisement. It would slide from reality to his memory, trapped until someone else sat there. The same went for Irving’s sandwich. When he bit it, it was reality. And…
  • A Little Bit of Dirt Never Hurt Anyone
    by P.S. Gifford
    A little bit of dirt never hurt anyone By P.S. Gifford Wallace Montgomery slumped at his kitchen table dressed in nothing more than grayish white boxer shorts.

  • Confessions of a Professional Defuser [excerpt]
    by Randy Bone
    Confessions of a Professional Defuser by Randy Bone Thought bombs are carefully designed psychological viruses routinely implanted into our heads from a very young age through the schools and later through the media. The powerful devious minds behind it all call it “inoculation”. Which is ironic you see because what they are inoculating against are ideas. They know they can’t ever completely control everybody’s thinking. …

    by Paul Steven
    Tracy Tenchins by Paul Steven The pedals of the push bike turned slowly as a u-nail spun violently past Sparrow’s left ear.”Come on mooovvveee,” screamed Sparrow pushing down harder on the pedals, his teeth baring like a mad rabid dog.

  • Space
    by Randy Bone
    Space. I remember when there used to be lots of it, back when there was still enough room to stretch out and to breathe and to run and jump and play. Room enough for people to be alone. But not anymore. That was all before The Catastrophe. Name’s Anus. Hugo Anus, Jr. to be exact. I was in heating and air conditioning before TC (we…

    by Jake Cordova
