| A boy whose father has died and who is in danger of failing his math class summons a demon, asking him to reunite his family and to ensure that he never fails geometry again. Both wishes are granted, though not as the boy had hoped, and this is due at least in part to his difficulties with geometry.
This gory short film was an early work by the now famous director Guillermo del Toro. It is loosely based on the story Naturally by Fredric Brown. Thanks to Steve Green who wrote to tell me about its existence and also pointed out that it is posted on YouTube (although it looks like it was made by pointing a camera at a television screen and so the image quality is very low). |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
