about.
NONE OF THESE STORIES ARE REAL is a literary magazine that explores the boundaries between reality and the subconscious through fiction and autofiction. Our writing explores dreams, hallucinations, alternate realities, altered/fabricated memories, surrealism, allegories, etc. How do we define reality? How does our subconscious affect how we perceive the world? Does another reality beyond ours really exist? We aim to answer these existential questions through creative, experimental, and thoughtful storytelling.
