Dragons on Drugs

Creature was born out of a desire to promote the creative works of fantasy and science fiction that have gone previously underrepresented in other larger submission programs. Born out of a meeting between five young artists, Creature was envisioned as a way for creatives of all stripes and colours to have a chance to get their work published and reviewed. The theme for issue two is ‘Parasite.’ The committee have chosen this because it invokes rich narratives of invasion, dependency, and transformation, resonating deeply with psychological and societal fears that are perhaps more easily digestible when represented in speculative fiction..

It was never that weird she swears. Every morning she walked past the mural,
the painter gradually drew the woman out of the wall…
Timber and feathers, and the world’s greatest mind. How could he have known the danger of all these combined?…
All hail the king in shadow, who marches with a rattle and roll, that glides with a thousand black eyes…
Something buzzed passed Illy’s left ear. She ignored it. Distractions were irrelevant in her currently elevated state of existence…
In order of birth, the DuBoise siblings were Richard, Victoria, Diedre, Daniel and Roland…
Amy stared across the cold and dark lake, her ice blue eyes straining against the dim light as a dense white fog drifted above the still waters…
And then she turned to me like I was the one who put it there, like the bloody thing hadn’t just crawled out of storage or through the vents…
The Rail-City Markets were a collection of sloppy biohackers, genetically modified safe-dogs, and your run-of-the-mill scammers…
