WORLD'S BEST FICTION

Welcome to SUM FLUX, a repository of extraordinary prose.

Scary stories for grown ups.

Short stories about love among family members, queer love, ruinous love, and love that doesn’t quite exist.

It's nothing that can't be undone later.

Natural philosophy, belles-lettres, polemics.

Figuring out the universe through some good old loathing and resentment. These are ill-tempered and ill-remembered love bits from the Shitstorm.

A weekly Newsletter on the creative process – helping people maximise their creative potential.

Psst... wanna read a story?

brief glimpse of how someone like me ends up like this

where weeping willows rage

Diary entries, rambling, embarrassment....

Fiction and nonfiction from the Midwest

Pseudonymous contemporary fiction. Bildungsromans, romance, humor and local color. Essays on themes relating to the fiction.

I make abandoned birdhouses and write essays that my mother thinks are distasteful.

making sense of it

Ferns of Columbo is a short fiction publication experimenting with themes of identity, transformation, power dynamics and survival through a speculative lens.

sketches, flash fiction, musings and observations

A Caribbean woman rewriting the world through (speculative) fiction and opinion pieces. Fiction, food, and ramblings galore.

Horror fiction with an abundance of quiet dread and moral ambiguity.

i swear this is a safe space

Once upon a time, I discovered I had many voices in my head and I needed a place to put them—then Substack came along. "To suggest is to create, to name is to destroy." —Stéphane Mallarmé

Speculative fiction by Caitriana NicNeacail.

Confessions, reflections, and semi-poetic droppings that will likely make you laugh when I intended to make you cry and vice versa.

Shiny sharp words. Scarred hearts. Unlimited glitter. Welcome, all.

Fiction | Filosofía | Fun

Fiction is Culture. No gods, just authors. Underground lit. Ritual crit. The gospel of the broken sentence, dissected by the "Official Unofficial Editor" of the Fiction tab.

I write short stories and experiment with style - I wont lie, its mostly going to be sci-fi and horror...maybe some discussion thrown in.

essays, memoir, food analogies

‘There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion.’ -------- Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam

literally how can we understand what the internet is doing to us

A place to explore the way the short story works.

For the past 8 years I’ve managed a drug and alcohol treatment center. Names and locations have been changed…

Come witness the uncomfortable display of a confused and worried person as they ruminate to themselves.

personal essays, culture, and introspection for an already saturated arena

I am joy before death. Joy before death annihilates me.
