F(r)iction #4
$25.00
In celebration of this little magazine’s first rotation around the sun, we’re bringing you a flock of wonder and strangeness. Kit Reed’s short story “Stickyfeet™,” in which a coder faces her ornithophobia through peculiar masonry. Andrew McFadyen-Ketchum‘s poem “On the 100th Anniversary of Mary’s Death,” a vibrant, secret ritual of mourning beneath mundane shades of grief. Jonas McCluggage’s graphic short story “Follow the Leader,” in which swarms of feral orphans slip toothed and fae-like from the abandoned park at the center of town. And Garth Greenwell’s thoughts on time, queer literature, and prose’s surprising trapdoor, as well as an excerpt of his award-winning debut What Belongs to You. As always, these terrible, delicious tales come gift-wrapped in F(r)iction’s signature full-color illustrations.
From growth spurts to glow ups, we’re celebrating potential—how far we’ve come and how far we hope to go.
