Fantastically Askew — Rhetoric Askew

This volume is about the worlds of fantasy, and we challenged our writers to explore the realms of fantasy from a new perspective, such as magepunk (a blending of the steampunk genre with the magic elements of a fantasy) or other, outside the box takes. We weren't disappointed in the results. As usual, we found that sometimes, our askew authors and poets color far outside the lines, and that is a wonderful part of being askew as well.In this volume you will experience fantastic worlds where technology and magic coexist in harmony, and others where the two collide head-on, leaving a swath of pain and destruction in their wake. This volume also marks the appearance of some of our youngest askew talent yet. Short stories, flash stories and poetry by some of the brightest new teen stars on the askew horizon await you here.Let go of your preconceived ideas about what fantasy means, and explore what being Fantastically Askew is all about, in both poetry and prose.
