Latest revision as of 19:29, 7 June 2012
Enchanted Times was first published in 2009. It is an ongoing series of A5 (/half-size) zines written by Su Mwamba, featuring revisionist short story versions of traditional fairy tales and other related features. Later issues feature guest editorials and artwork by additional writers and artists working within the re-told fairy tale genre.
The Enchanted Times Mini zine is released at random intervals between issues, featuring previews of and alternative perspectives on the stories to be featured in the next full-size edition. The short stories/flash fiction tend to veer from the traditional happy ending while the supplementary features and Mini editions are of a more light-hearted nature.
Originally released under the imprint of The Tangled Press, a name derived from her TangleCrafts blog, later issues & reprints of the Enchanted Times are released under the imprint of E. T. Printworks.
The Enchanted Times has also spawned a number of additional related mini-zines including Once Upon a Haiku and the Goblin Market Coupon Book (featuring fictional ads & offers from Enchanted Times sponsors).
