History
Inner Worlds was a quarterly digital zine of speculative stories about our inner lives; our thoughts, our emotions, our perceptions, our dreams. It published ten issues between 2023 and 2026, which are available to read for free.
We aimed to publish works which use elements from science fiction, fantasy, or horror to illuminate the different ways that we experience our selves and our world.
That might mean finding a metaphor to express a feeling, or a setting which reflects how your brain works sometimes, or turning a trope on its head to explore a different perspective.
We had a specific interest in sharing:
stories of neurodiversity
experiences of psychological struggle or distress, madness, and extreme states
the voices and perspectives of marginalised groups.
We'll walk with you in the dark places. But we want your humour, joy, and wonder too.
"Can you promise me I'll be happy?"
"No, man. Absolutely not. But I can promise that you won't be alone."
-Russian Doll, Season One "Ariadne"

Read Inner Worlds
All the stories in our archive are free to read online, or you can buy past issues in EPUB and PDF format on Gumroad.
You can also read reviews and recognition for some of the works we've had the honour to publish.
Inner Worlds has an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN 2977-8131) which means data about the magazine is available in bibliographic records held at the British Library and elsewhere and will be available for researchers today and in the future. I just think that's pretty neat.
