Why Subscribe to New Fiction Press?
New Fiction Press is where sharp cultural commentary meets genre-bending fiction—an evolving dispatch from the desk of Brett Alexander.
What began as a home for stories like Murder at the Ritz has grown into something bigger: a living notebook of essays, serialized fiction, and dispatches on everything from prestige TV to spiritual mysticism, from noir cinema to the future of storytelling.
Each week, you'll find essays that cut through the noise—whether unpacking the memory politics of Severance, tracing mythic threads in Dune, or probing the eerie logic of cults and control in real life and fiction.
And the stories? They’re not just entertainment. They’re part of a larger world.
Lost In The Feed – A cultural memory project dressed as a personal essay series. Part memoir, part media exorcism.
The Hunger of Light – An upcoming sci-fi series about rebellion, memory, and myth in a broken future.
Murder at the Ritz – A serialized modern noir with a rural twist and a sharp-tongued deputy at its center.
