Bards and Sages Quarterly (April 2023) - E-book - ePub

For over a decade, the Bards and Sages Quarterly has been a showcase for both new and established authors to share their speculative works. The short stories presented in each issue serve as a delightful sampler of the speculative genres. Whether your preference is sword and sorcery, time-travel, space exploration, gothic horror, urban fantasy, or any of the speculative genres, you are sure to find something to love in the pages of this magazine. Stories in this issue by Andrew Jensen, Antony Paschos, Jason Mills, Kelly Toughill, Lorna McGinnis, Luke Foster, Nestor Delfino, Nicole Walsh, Patrick Honovich, Ray Daley, and Taija Morgan. A Sample of what you will find: An aspiring author visits a bookshop for inspiration and finds surprising news when browsing the bookseller's special collection of magical books in That First Page. Snow White's evil stepmother attends a self-help meeting of recovering evil witches in Witches Anonymous. Murderous desperadoes attempting a train robbery get a bit more than they bargained for in The Santa Fe Five. For information on potential trigger warnings in this issue, please visit our Trigger Warnings page at Bards and Sages.
