Enjoy the debut issue of Havok Magazine, your source for the highest quality speculative flash fiction. New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee headlines this issue with the beautiful story of a young woman who faces incredible odds when a murderous horde attacks her people.

Staff member Lindsay Franklin enlightens our audiences with "Hardwired," a story of a cyborg who falls in love. Plus, read six other speculative fiction stories ranging from a steampunk Pinocchio to a woman who literally married a monster.

A long, long time ago, the world was ruled by super-creatures, legendary
beasts known only by the fossils they left behind. From Journey to the Center
of the Earth to The Land of the Lost, from Jurassic Park to Doctor Who,
literature and cinema has been fascinated with the idea of humans interacting
with dinosaurs.

This issue of Havok has taken that hunger for dinosaur danger and created a
smorgasbord of reptilian reading to satisfy even the most insatiable appetite.

Dig in!

The classics.

We’ve all read one or two over the course of our high school careers, and maybe more since then. We know them by whether or not everyone else knows them.

But do you really know them?

This issue of Havok takes classic literature to a whole new level, going behind the scenes to bring you the real story behind the classic tales. From werewolves to aliens to time travelers, from novels to short stories, we’ve taken some of the best the past has to offer and mutated it into the best of the present and possibly the future.

So sit down in a cozy corner of your space station with a cup of grog and enjoy some classic literature—mutated.

It’s that time of year again: Halloween, Havok’s favorite holiday! The weird and the mysterious all come to life this time of year, and imaginations run wild. Terror lurks around every corner, and nothing is what it seems. But it’s also a time of fun. Pranks and sweets, tricks and treats. This year, we’re embracing the lighter side of Halloween with our HalloWhimsy issue. Featuring best-selling author Rick Gualtieri, with his story "Ice Beast," this episode is eager to entertain. But be careful—there are things lurking in the shadows, waiting, ready to pounce when you least expect it.

It’s a story as old as time itself. The battle between good and evil. Right and wrong. Light and dark. This contest issue explores the depths of this age-old war, from epic heroes to despicable villains and everything in between, exposing the dark corners of heroism and the good intentions that turn to bad deeds. NYT bestselling author Lynn Rush not only gives us a glimpse into the world of her icy superhero, she also served as our guest judge for this contest. Heroes vs. Villains—who will win? Get your copy now to find out who is victorious!

Everyone loves a good Fairytale. Most of us grew up hearing them as bedtime stories, and now they’re back, better than ever, in movies and TV and books. And this issue of Havok is on board with that. From the Old World to the New, from classics reworked to originals, Fairytales: Unfettered does not disappoint. There are stories that will make you shudder, stories that will make you smile, and everything in between, so curl up somewhere comfy and get ready to lose yourself in a world of magic where dreams come true...but sometimes they kill you.

There’s a chill in the air, but a fire in our souls. Just when winter is hitting its dreary peak, Havok is here to heat things up with our Inferno issue. From the classics like dragons and phoenixes and lava, to fire-breathing divas and immolation puppies, including the Final Battle for Sanctuary by our featured author, best-selling novelist Ronie Kendig, this issue is one of the most imaginative and exciting we’ve had to date. So grab an iced tea and get ready, because things are about to heat up.

Shivers and screams. Tremors and terrors. Horror and hysteria. The thrill of fright is what makes Halloween such a fun and memorable time of year. And no one does Halloween better than Havok. From hellhounds to vampires to ghosts to monsters to the darkness of the soul and all the creepy-crawlies that make Halloween horrifying, the Shivers and Screams issue of Havok will send chills up your spine and give you more reasons to love the Halloween season.

For the second year in a row, Havok Magazine presents the world with a contest of epic proportions, forever settling the debate between the best of two genres. First, it was Steampunk vs. Cyberpunk, in a battle where the best story which determined the best genre.

This year, the stakes are even higher as two classic speculative genres go head-to-head: Fantasy vs. Science Fiction. Which is the better genre?

Submissions poured in, and our editorial staff hand-picked the finalists. Featured author Patrick Carr served as our guest judge, determining the winning story.

Buy your copy now to find out the winning story and the winning genre!

Not so long ago, in a multiverse near you, the walls of reality crumbled and the genres began to bleed into one another. Chaos ensued. The events that followed were recorded by some of the most gifted transcribers in the realms.

From the featured story The First Werewolf on Mars, by Randy Ingermanson, award-winning author, to a steampunk romance--from the undead in the outer reaches of the galaxy to a giant who rules the other creatures in a dystopian future--and everything in between--the pages of this Crossover Chaos issue of Havok will thrill you with mash-ups of unparalleled awesomeness.

Dive in and enjoy these unknown worlds. Become one with the chaos.

Winter is here. Freezing winds blew in stories from all corners of the galaxy for Havok's first issue of 2015. From ice-based superpowers, to frozen planets, to chilling tales of the dead come back to life--you'll get a bit of frostbite in every story.

Bestselling author and Taylor University's famed professor, Dr. Dennis E. Hensley, dazzles as our frosty featured author. And Senior Operations Manager Lindsay Franklin gets chilly in a staff story with bite. So grab a blanket and a cup of hot cocoa and curl up by the fire for an icy good time.

Zombies, werewolves, monsters, and people. The things that scare us the most in this world. You’ll find all these things in this special Halloween edition of Havok Magazine, featuring a spine-tingling story from best-selling author James Scott Bell.

With a staff feature from Splickety Publishing Group's founder and Executive Editor, Ben Wolf, and some of the best horror and Halloween-themed stories you’ll find anywhere, this issue will give you chills and leave you satisfied…if you survive.

Few things are more fun than a contest, especially for writers. Havok Magazine 1.2 features a contest of epic proportions--an all-out battle between two genres, steampunk and cyberpunk. The winner, determined by our Featured Author and guest judge, Jeff Gerke, is cyberpunk!

Read the winning story, "On Trial," by Rachelle Harp, along with all the other finalists in this issue. Not only that, Jeff Gerke speculates about humanity's cyberpunk future, and Senior Editor Andrew Winch gives us a steampunk twist on a horror classic.

Havok 1.3 kicks gas with new speculative flash fiction from eight talented authors, including a staff feature by Havok's editor Avily Jerome. Bestselling author Bryan Davis headlines this issue with a prequel piece to his latest book, Reapers, and six other authors take us everywhere from cruising with space pirates to hunting T-Rexes.
