Universe in a Bottle is Flying Ketchup Press's Zine Anthology, featuring short fiction from the brave minds of our best science fiction writers. Check your well-worn assumptions about how the world works at the door, and let yourself be transported to the far-flung possibilities of the universe--all without leaving your arm chair.  Featuring writers from across the country and the globe--you'll find yourself electrified and compelled by the imaginations of our provocative authors.  Get ready to be taken away!  

​

Universe in a Bottle was inspired by our writer's contest, Tales from Time.  We searched for the best Sci-Fi short stories that take place in weird, wild new worlds. Join us for stories full of surprises, twists, mysterious creatures, technological wonder, and things you've never even dreamed of.
