Syntax and Salt: Stories is a delightful new zine devoted to magic realist short stories.
The next issue, deadline 15 September, needs submissions on the theme ‘Myths, Monsters, Legends, and Fairy Tales’, of stories up to 3,500 words, which can be retellings of old myths and legends. Sad endings without gimmicks or shocks and happy endings that hurt a little bit would be welcomed.
