This year, Short Story Day Africa asks writers to look deep into their imaginations to draw out stories fantastical and mythical. Envision Africa in the future, or an alternative history to the ones we\u2019ve been told and sold. Dragons in Diamey? Werewolves in Windhoek? Don\u2019t be pass\u00e9 \u2013 think beyond what you already know about speculative fiction. Here be dragons. Here be lions. Step off those well-worn paths into\u00a0terra incognita<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Short Story Day Africa wants your speculative fiction: horror, fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi, alternative history and magical realism all fit the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n
