News – The Town Drunk January issue is out!

Here is the publication’s mission statement:

We feel that lighthearted humor remains under-represented in contemporary speculative fiction. The current trend in the market is to favor literary merit over entertainment value, and lighthearted fiction is not considered “serious” enough for many magazines. When it does appear, it’s usually something of a novelty, like that comic episode of The Twilight Zone starring Carol Burnett. As both readers and writers, we want to see more.

The Town Drunk is not the first or only publication to specialize in humorous and lighthearted speculative fiction. Still, we feel we can add a unique voice to that small chorus. Plus, we get to read a lot of funny stuff while deciding what to present to our readers.
