Established in 2008 by Gil Williamson, Mythaxis began as a self-coded webzine with an unpredictable release schedule and a close-knit group of regular contributors. Edited by Andrew Leon Hudson since 2020, the magazine is now a clockwork-quarterly publication and welcomes writers from around the world, and in 2026 we were delighted to be nominated for a British Fantasy Award in the Best Magazine/Periodical category.
We’ve evolved over our nearly twenty years of publishing, but some things never change: Mythaxis has always been focused on the fiction, with as little distraction as possible - no ads, no clutter, just quality stories to transport you somewhere else.
For a “subscription” to Mythaxis, sign up here to receive each new issue’s Table of Contents in your inbox on release. You can also follow us on Bluesky and Facebook.
Mythaxis is forever free-to-read, but if you would like to support the magazine you could always buy us a coffee.
STAFF
Andrew Leon Hudson - Editor
Andrew is a technical writer by day, and is technically a writer by night as well. In addition to editing Mythaxis, his sf, fantasy, horror, and crime short fiction has appeared in a handful of quality zines and anthologies, with longer-form works lurking in the shadows. In 2026, he received the Federmeister Award from Foofaraw Press for “editor best to work with”, voted for by writers, so what greater honour could he ask for? He lives in Barcelona, Spain, and doesn’t do things online often enough to count.
Marty Steer - Digital Huperson
Marty is a human-like person who emerged from a Digital Humanities Research Hub at the School of Advanced Study and has since stepped into the SOAS digital library. He likes messing about with humanities data, minimal computing and I also enjoy liminal ideas.
Micah Hyatt - the Voice of Mythaxis
Micah is a veteran soldier, freight train conductor, and graduate of the Seton Hill Writing Popular Fiction MFA program. His fiction has been published all across the web, his light-hearted zombie survival novella Eating the Exhibits is available through Amazon, and he performs as M/F on Spotify. He narrates and produces the audio-format of the Mythaxis stories.
The Story Oracle - Fictional Genius
Blessed with guru-like serenity, the Story Oracle graciously bestows their wisdom on such editors as who climb to the peak of Slush Mountain and ask, “Is this thing as good as I think it is?” Occasionally, the answer is comprehensible.
