Raiders of the Lost Plot

From across the far reaches of the internet, the community at Fark.com presents . . . Raiders of the Lost Plot: The 2024 Fark Fiction Anthology! Our editors have worked feverishly to bring you the best short fiction of 2024 from the minds and imaginations at Fark, the online community where snark is king and wit reigns supreme. Gods and devils, angels and piglets, mysteries and the mysterious. Space smugglers and fantastic beasts, murders, mayhem, and one very, very important dog all come together with much, much more.

And even better, for the ninth year in a row, all proceeds from the sale of this anthology will benefit an excellent children’s charity chosen by the posters at Fark.com.

So strap in, put a fedora on your squirrel, and get ready, because adventures await and there’s all sorts of plots to find!
