"The Zodiac Review was launched to provide a quality magazine for writers of “literary/genre" fiction, the merger of literary fiction and any genre that cares to join it. You may know this blend of writing as "slipstream," "hybrid," or "genre-bending" fiction."

Additional info

The Zodiac Review welcomes unpublished stories from a whole panoply of genres, including psychological, light or dark humor, biting satire, philosophical, astrological, mythos, fictionalized memoir, light sci-fi and light fantasy...if they include decidedly strong elements of literary fiction. We are especially eager to publish pieces that include some of the following elements of literary fiction: Character-driven as much as or more than plot-driven writing Distinctive or idiosyncratic prose style; creative word usage Literary devices including metaphor, analogy, allegory, imagery, irony Subtle, subliminal or multiple meanings and sub-themes An indeterminate or unresolved ending
