What is this?

Tales From An Unfamiliar Nation is a monthly-updated magazine which we created after we couldn’t find a speculative fiction magazine catering to content based on the Indian subcontinent. This website is a space for writers who want to tell stories inspired by the rich histories and mythologies of South Asia. We will never charge for submitting stories.

This site is definitely an experiment, so if you like it, do let us know in the comments on any of the stories or by liking and engaging with our Facebook page.

If you hate it or want to yell at us for some reason, mail admin@tfaun.com

Why the name?

A lot of ink has been spilled about the wonders and problems of South Asia. Most of it was spilled in non-fiction books or Very Serious Literature and has painted a familiar picture of them in anglophone minds (both outside and inside these nations.) We want to find forgotten histories and myths from South Asia and build upon them to create tales that give our readers a fresh, unfamiliar perspective about these otherwise familiar nations.
