Paper Mayhem was a science fiction and fantasy magazine published in the United States from 1984 to 1992. The magazine was founded by author and editor Robert W. Kraus.

Paper Mayhem was known for its support of new and emerging writers in the science fiction and fantasy genres, publishing works by well-known authors like Charles de Lint and Robert Jordan, as well as up-and-coming writers.

The magazine's content was focused primarily on short stories, but also included book reviews, editorials, and articles on the craft of writing. Paper Mayhem was widely respected in the science fiction and fantasy community for its dedication to fostering new talent and pushing the boundaries of the genre.

Despite its reputation, however, Paper Mayhem faced financial struggles throughout its run, with Kraus relying heavily on donations from readers to keep the magazine afloat. The magazine ultimately ceased publication in 1992 after Kraus declared bankruptcy.

Today, Paper Mayhem remains a cult classic in the science fiction and fantasy community, remembered for its support of new and emerging writers and its unyielding dedication to the genre.{{Categories}}
