Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Illuminations of the Fantastic is an online magazine that encompasses works of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Adventure, Mystery, Poetry, History, Travelogue, Essay, and Review. The magazine is the endeavor of Nashville-based writers who wish to enrich local culture and bring attention to their passion for storytelling. Their diverse interests span from Homeric epic to contemporary science fiction; from Beowulf, Shakespeare, and Milton to Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson, and Ernest Cline; from Chretien de Troyes, Marie de France, and Thomas Malory to the Inklings, T.H. White, and Ursula K. LeGuin. The magazine was founded by co-editors Sam Stephens and Philip J. Palacios in order to present the stories they share a delight in reading, stories that illuminate the human experience through a lens of the fantastic.
