Mobius Blvd: Stories from the Byway Between Reality and Dream No. 6: April 2024

by Wayne Kyle Spitzer, Maggie Bayne, Valeriya Salt

There is a byway between reality and dream. A transit we call Möbius Blvd …

Inspired by the enigmatic Möbius strip, a mathematical construct that defies conventional notions of linearity and infinity, Möbius Blvd has no beginning or end but exists in a place where reality and dream have fused … coalesced … merged. With each turn of the page, you'll encounter a unique blend of horror, fantasy, and science-fiction—fiction that will challenge your perceptions and leave you in awe of the infinite possibilities that exist within the written word.

Indeed, Möbius Blvd is far more than a magazine; it's an experience. It's an exploration of the infinite, a passage through dimensions where the only constant is storytelling at its most daring, a kaleidoscope of wonder and terror. Join us on this winding, never-ending journey of speculative fiction that will keep you entranced from the first twist to the last loop. Open your mind to the limitless worlds of Möbius Blvd … and discover that the boundary between fiction and reality is as thin as a strip of paper with a twist.

Reviews

[Southern Legends · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truly potent injection of sensual smartness and smart sensuality! It's not gamechanger sending you head over your heels, mind you, but I didn't expect this read to yield such satisfying experience in one short and swift haul, that is!

[Luke Dylan Ramsey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall there’s a lot of typos (and I mean a lot) but there’s also some really good stories in here. I particularly loved “Crave” by Hannah Adam and “The Flint Street Flesh Peddlers” by J Herrera Kamin; those two stories were some of the best stories I’ve read in the last few years. “Flesh Peddlers” even reminded me of JG Ballard (probably intentional).
