FANTASY MAGAZINE is a digital magazine focusing exclusively on the fantasy genre. In its pages, you will find all types of fantasy-dark fantasy, contemporary urban tales, surrealism, magical realism, science fantasy, high fantasy, folktales, and anything and everything in between. FANTASY is entertainment for the intelligent genre reader-we publish stories of the fantastic that make us think, and tell us what it is to be human.

In this issue's short fiction, Anya Ow's "God of the River" wades into family legends and survival, and "The Body Fate" by Avi Burton explores role, identity, and expectation; in flash fiction, Anne E.G. Nydam pieces together a new kind of narrative in "Some Assembly Required," and "It's What's Inside That Counts" by Warren Benedetto delivers a slice of hard truth; for poetry, we have "1960s With a Glass Harp" by Chinedu Gospel and "Legacy" by Anjali Patel. Plus an interview with Mark H. Harris about nonfiction book The Black Guy Dies First, co-authored with Robin R. Means Coleman.
