Moonday Mag ⋆⁺₊
welcomes you into a world of make believe.
Founded in 2023, Moonday Mag is a quarterly, speculative art and literary magazine dedicated to celebrating all things fantastic and fantastically strange. Born in the place that rests between here and the uncanny valley, Moonday Mag wonders what else might be out there, beyond the veil. From sci-fi to fantasy to magical realism to the witching hour caught on camera in 35mm – Moonday Mag wants it all and welcomes all.
Moonday Mag is a globally distributed publication that seeks to bridge the imaginary gap between literary and genre. We are proudly and sustainably printed by Reischling Press Inc. and run by a small army of volunteer fabulists.
