Gigantic is an American literary journal that publishes fiction, art and interviews. In particular, it focuses on short prose or flash fiction. Print issues also have included a special poetry section entitled "The Seizure State," curated by celebrated American poet Joe Wenderoth. It publishes original work online at its website and once a year in a print format. Gigantic was founded in 2008 by four writers living in New York City.
Gigantic is known for changing its layout and design significantly with each issue, as well as a focus on affordable pricing. Issues have ranged in price from 3 to 10 dollars. The layout is designed by Erin Grey West.
