It’s with great cheer that we welcome you to 2015’s Christmas issue. Christmas is the hap-hap-happiest season of all, and we believe the same can be said for our end-of-the-year issue. Our talented writers have once again embodied the spirit of the season in its many forms, from Santas to snowmen, and miracles to shopping madness. It’s a true dose of Christmas cheer, Prime-style. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good read!

We always like to snag a window seat when we're flying home. There’s something magical about seeing your hometown from the air—it’s so familiar, yet it feels new because you’re looking at it from a different perspective. 

That’s why we're so excited about Splickety’s Literary Time Warp issue. Each of these stories explores a piece of great literature from a fresh perspective.

These are stories we know and love, from Shakespeare to Joseph Conrad and Charles Dickens to Faust. We trace their well-worn edges and feel at home, yet we experience them in an exciting, unique way when we transpose them into all-new settings.

We hope they bring you as much delight as they’ve inspired in us.

Transportation is so much more than how to get somewhere. It’s about speed, danger, near-misses, and thrilling journeys. Our Buckle Up issue packs it all, from elephants to gondolas, rollercoasters to buggies. Our winning story, “The Dewey Road,” is sure to transport you to another time in a way you’ve never experienced. Add a feature piece by Kristy Cambron and it’s an issue on the road to epic. Buy a copy and strap yourself in for one great flash fiction ride!

The great outdoors—where misadventure awaits! Our “ Outdoor Misadventures” issue is full of uh-ohs and should-haves that will make you laugh and shudder, from wild animals to crazy camping and barely boating. Be sure to catch the feature story by Mark Hancock (author and CEO of Trail Life USA) with his hilarious go-around involving Pop-Tarts and marshmallows. Whether you’re headed to the beach, the mountains, or planning a staycation, you’ll want this issue on your summer reading list.

Satisfy your inner Enquirer with tantalizing tales of News that Never Happened. Prepare to be spellbound by sensational stories that make you wonder if there might be a smidgen of truth to them. From disappearing cats to an attack on the White House to Sherlock Holmes on the lam, it’s all in this month’s edition of Splickety Magazine.

We’re excited to bring you our contest edition of Splickety Prime, featuring the theme “Lost at Sea.” This issue—in which we say “Welcome Aboard” to best-selling author Sigmund Brouwer—is flooded with stories of adventure and terror on, near, and under the water. If you think being lost at sea is all about messages in bottles and deserted islands, let us show you otherwise. We’ve smuggled in so many twists and turns, it’ll make you question your sea legs. Get your copy today and prepare to get lost in wave after wave of the finest flash fiction.

Howdy, y’all! We’ve wrangled up 15 tales of the Wild West. We’ve got train heists … with zombies, widows with vendettas, a sheriff with an itchy trigger finger, and a band of four-foot, axe-wielding ladies bent on keeping the peace. Heck, there’s enough shootin’, hangin’, duelin’, and double-crossin’ to keep you turning the pages. And don’t miss best-selling author Peter Leavell’s story, “The Smells of Summer,” which showcases the misadventures of a kerosene-shootin’ cowboy. So prop your boots up and sit a spell with these 15 wild tales! You'll be entertained until the cows come home.

Splickety Prime is starting off 2015 with a bang in our Crime Time issue. And we're offering more stories! With 12 tales of whodunits, our line-up has something for everyone. A robbery on a space yacht? You bet. Unveiling grandma's dark secrets? Yep. We've got psycho killers, hired hit men, devious mean girls, and first-time thieves. Don't miss "Gut Instinct" written by best-selling author Lisa Harris who takes us into the world of a deaf detective-by-default determined to take down a weapons dealer. And our staff feature is noir extraordinaire. It's no secret, we're always guilty of placing the best flash fiction under one cover. So get out your detective hat and cozy up with 12 mysteries to die for.

It’s Christmas time again. That magical time of year when stories are full of miracles, wonder, and the reminder to embrace the true meaning of Christmas. And that’s exactly what Splickety Prime has to offer in our annual Christmas-themed magazine. This year’s eight tales offer stories that range from charming to heartwarming with disgruntled elves who give back to bratty children, a boy who wants to make the naughty list, and a kid who can’t wait for Christmas. Plus, experience the wonderful winter magic of a true Christmas miracles in best-selling author DiAnn Mills’s “The Sugarplum Shoppe.” So curl up with some cocoa, and treat yourself to some Christmas flash fiction, Splickety style.

The September issue of Splickety Prime is here! This month’s stories all share the same theme: Deliverance. Keep in mind, deliverance doesn’t always come in the way we expect it. Sometimes it involves sacrifice, sometimes people step in to deliver us when we wish they hadn’t. But deliverance always brings about change. The stories in this issue range from a girl with a not-so-super power to a man in need of a heart transplant. And don’t miss “Middle of the Madness” by our featured, best-selling author, Travis Thrasher. Pick up your copy today.

Splickety Prime 3.2 is here! This month's featured author is New York Time’s best-selling author Jerry B. Jenkins. His story, “Narrow Escape,” is the perfect example of this issue’s theme: grace. Seven other grace-filled stories pack the issue, all told from unique points of view, ranging from a child thief to a former gang member to a man who picks up dead bodies for the funeral home. Sometimes the main characters are on the giving end of grace; other times they're on the receiving end.

Splickety 3.1 is here. This issue is packed with nine flash fiction pieces revolving around one theme: silver linings. Relive a crewman’s nightmarish experience about being stranded with aliens in “Chow”, a sci-fi tale by our featured author Alton Gansky. Plus, jump into eight more stories in a powerful line-up that begins with the end of the world and ends with a story that defines the true meaning of family. Get your copy today, and be sure to visit our website, www.splicketymagazine.com for more great content.
