Zombies Need Brains: Four themes
\n<\/strong>They are open for four fiction anthologies.

High fantasy, sword & sorcery, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, magical realism, and of course science fiction…DRAGONESQUE will feature a wealth of genres that even a dragon would be tempted to horde.\u201d
\n— <\/strong>Game On!<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cGames played in fiction often symbolize more than winning and losing. Games represent risk and reward, wealth and class, strategy and blind fortune. In science fiction and fantasy, games can be matters of cosmic importance and of literal life and death… we\u2019re looking for unique science fiction and fantasy takes on games, game playing, and games in culture. A game or games\u2014real or imagined\u2014should be central to the story in some fashion. Please note anything considered a \u2018sport\u2019 (i.e.: baseball, soccer, rollerball, etc.) won\u2019t be a fit for this anthology. Games used in stories must also not infringe on real-world trademarked names or third-party copyrights.\u201d
\n— <\/strong>Artifice & Craft<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cOur drive and ability to create for the sake of creativity defines us as a species and enriches our cultures, our societies, our lives. The best of these works of art, from novels to paintings to statues to music, are imbued with a special kind of magic. But when that magic is literal\u2014when Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray ages instead of the actual man, and Mozart’s Magic Flute plays its protective song\u2014art takes on a whole new meaning. .. we invite writers of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and other speculative fiction to spin their own tales of works of art that have been enchanted, hexed, charmed, or cursed.\u201d
\n— <\/strong>Solar Flare<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cImagine a Solarpunk future where societies value cooperation over consumerism, where technology solves ecological challenges rather than creating them. SOLAR FLARE will envision a future where humanity has embraced the Earth and learned to co-exist with it, not simply on it, where sustainability is a way of life, not merely a catch phrase.\u201d
