ELEVEN THOUGHTFUL TALES OF EXCELLENT FANTASY

From blood-painted deserts abandoned by the gods, to mindscapes of the divines; from a lush, man-eating garden to a deathlord’s morning cup of coffee, each story opens a window into the whimsical world of the unknown.

This curated issue of literary fantasy offers both exciting adventure and masterfully crafted prose and poetry. Some tales are gentle and thoughtful, while others get the heart racing. The range of fantasy is vast, but a microcosm of it has been captured in these pages, like lightning in a bottle.

Highlights include: Baldwin E. Hart’s “The King of Kings,” covering the journey of a blind priest in search of a missing god; Reed Miller’s “The Garden of Qadir,” a weird fantasy harnessing dark the contrasts of cosmic horror; and an introduction to M. Frost’s striking fantasy poetry; a taste of what’s to come in the upcoming chapbook, “The March” available from The Arcanist.
