While It Is Raining
Welcome to the April 2018 issue of Swords & Sorcery Magazine. Here in Massachusetts Spring is finally here. It’s raining. Perfect weather to stay inside and read this month’s selection of stories. To help you find some more reading material when you are done, this month we also have a review.
“Enough to Matter”, by Jamie Lackey, is a coming of age story set in a world where beauty is a tradeable commodity. Lackey’s work has appeared previously in Swords & Sorcery Magazine, and in many other places including Daily Science Fiction, Bards and Sages Quarterly, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Weird Tales.
“The Penitent”, by Harry Piper, tells the story of two brothers who take a job to escort a possibly insane priest through a wasteland in search of a mysterious penitent. This is Piper’s first published story.
“By Fist and Sword: a review of Weird Tales of Horror”, by Anthony Perconti, is a review of the Weird Tales of Horror, by David West. This is the second review by Perconti to appear in Swords & 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…
