Our Most Read Stories

Since IF’s beginnings—over five years now, one-hundred-and-one stories later—it’s been our intent to provide a variety of types of stories. Speculative fiction is the foundation and the focus of what we publish. (By the way, I like “imaginative” fiction, but they both mean “genre” fiction.) The forms these speculations take is another opportunity for variety. The short story is bolstered by the narrative and epic poem.
