Unstuck, Unstuck Books
Matt Williamson, Executive Editor
Unstuck was an independent, nonprofit annual based in Austin, Texas. They emphasize literary fiction with elements of the fantastic, the futuristic, or the surreal--a broad category that would include the work of writers as diverse as Abe, Ballard, Borges, Calvino, Tutuola, and (of course) Vonnegut. Phantom Drift editors recommend Unstuck as it is one of the few journals publishing the same range of work. Their first issue was over 300 pages of generously leaded fiction, poetry and nonfiction. Their second issue is over 500 pages. Phantom Drift editor appeared in their first issue.

POlyphony series 1 - 6
Edited by Deborah Layne and Jay Lake
Polyphony 7 (edited by Deborah Layne and Forrest Aguirre) has apparently been on hold. The last posting on their website was by Deborah nearly three years ago. But the Polyphony series is well worth your time and explores that difficult to categorize range of work so loved by Phantom Drift editors.
Interfictions
A Journal of Interstitial Arts
As writers and editors with one foot in the academic literary community and one in the science fiction and fantasy community, we see the boundaries between genres and forms as permeable membranes, not fortified borders. Our mission is to gather pieces from wildly different corners of the writing, visual arts, and music worlds in order to showcase weird and wonderful work that falls outside conventional categories. Delia Sherman, Executive Editor.
