Allow us to introduce ourselves…

G. E. Butler, Chief Editor

Nice to meet you! I am a fiction author with short and flash fiction publications in various small presses. As an author, I have always been drawn to the realms of dreams and myth, to the ancients stories of the fantastic that we tell each other to communicate feelings we don’t understand. Though I am grateful to the journals who gave my voice a chance, I decided to begin my own online literary journal after discovering a thin, curious line that still divides what is known as “speculative fiction” from the rest of the literary world. My team and I wanted to create a space for authors who have interests similar to our own, who wish to write about the fantastic and celebrate its unique literary appeal. Below are the fabulous writers I am privileged to work with.

Flora Soper, Co-editor and Social Media Specialist

Growing up in a small town in Florida, where not a lot of exciting things happened, Flora instead turned to documentaries and novels to fill her childhood. She became fascinated with history and how small events held the possibility of altering existing or future timelines. Her reading interests span from historical fiction to fantasy to nonfiction. She prefers to write historical pieces with fictional twists, but enjoys experimentation in varied genres.

Amy Clement, Co-editor and Social Media Specialist

Florida-born and raised on the coasts, country, and suburbs, Amy has always had an attraction to the marriage of nature and history that stems from the state’s roots. Her literary tastes are varied, but she is most interested in the mixing of water, land, and plant with human nature, existentialism, and the intangible. Her most favored reading and writing styles are Southern Gothic, regionalism, sentimentalism, and supernaturalism.

Mahalia Rae, Co-editor

Mahalia Rae has worked as a marketing copywriter/copyeditor for seven years and is now moving into more literary and journalistic work, including interning for a book publisher and writing for a local North Carolina newspaper. With her personal writing projects, she likes to write in the same genres that she reads: mainly horror and science fiction. She particularly enjoys horror works written by marginalized authors. In addition to the scare factor/unsettling nature and the relatability of its characters and themes, Mahalia appreciates horror since she has been watching and reading horror media with her family since she was a child.
