Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery fiction writer, who was well known for his use of humour and his mastery of the so-called “short-short” form of story-telling. That is, short stories of between one to three pages in length, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. One of his best-known stories, “Arena”, was even adapted to a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek! Click on the video above to find out more…

Welcome to Cyborg Ink. Bringing the very best science fiction, space opera, and fantasy flash fiction to life using the power of artificial intelligence and human creativity.

We’re building a digital archive of short fiction forms from the classic, golden age, and pulp fiction era of science fiction and fantasy: a central repository of out-of-print stories of around three thousand words or less, as well as brand new images, motion comics, and animated author bios generated using a mix of A.I. powered digital technology.

We plan on adding at least one new story, video, or author biography every single week, and would love to have as many fans of science fiction, fantasy — or just short fiction in general — come along with us for the ride.
