Issue 80, September 2018
Here There Were Dragons
Welcome to September 2018 issue of Swords & Sorcery Magazine. This month's issue has a theme--what happens when the dragon is dead. We have two stories about when the dragon slaying is over. We also have a review of a podcast that is well worth your time to check out. Enjoy!
“After the Dragon”, by Janie Brunson, is a tale of how slaying the dragon can be the easy part. Brunson's work has appeared in Bards and Sages Quarterly, The Colored Lens, and 365 Tomorrows. This is her first appearance in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
“Tail-Slayer”, by Andrew Jensen, tells the story of an aging Viking looking back on his part in killing a dragon. Jensen's work has appeared in Midnight Zoo Magazine, The Flash Fiction Press, The Lorelei Signal, The Centropic Oracle and Space Squid. This is his first appearance in Swords & Sorcery.
Our special feature this month is "The Only Story That Matters: My Thoughts on Skald: Cycle One", by Anthony Perconti, a review of the Skald podcast by Aubrey Sitterson, a sword-and-sorcery serial audio story well worth a listen. Perconti's reviews appear regularly in Swords and Sorcery.
As always I can be reached with questions or comments at editor@swordsandsorcerymagazine.com. Public comments can be made on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/SwordsAndSorceryMagazine). Swords & Sorcery also has a twitter feed, @SwordsNSorcery, where we post links to stories when they are posted. Submissions are always welcome but please see the guidelines before submitting. I’m looking for genre related reviews and critical essays as well as short fiction. I may consider occasional publication of longer fiction, as well. Please query before submitting anything not within the guidelines.
Until next month…
