Autumn. Season to bring the poets out . . . and writers of weird fiction.
Speaking of which . . .
I have a short story in the first issue of The Wyrd Magazine. Clue's in the name. But all the same, here’s what
they say about themselves:
The Wyrd is an online magazine for speculative, weird and slipstream prose. We publish stories that delve into the spaces between genres, that are steeped in the uncanny, and stay with you long after you’ve read them. The Wyrd is published quarterly and will feature established and new authors who like pushing genre boundaries. Reading The Wyrd should be like going for a long ride down a forgotten country road. You never know where you’ll end up, but it’s bound to be interesting.
Issue one contains tales by
Steve Passey, Joanna Roye, Mark Patrick Lynch (that’ll be me), O.S. Delgado, Henry Szabranski, Douglas Ford and Catherine Edmunds.
Sound good to you? You can download issue one for free in PDF by going
here. Steve’s story is available to read online
here, saving you
the fuss of downloading the PDF (even though you should – oh yes, you really
should). If you fancy helping to keep the magazine going and paying the writers, then maybe donate the price of a coffee to them through patreon. Click
here if you are able to and want to learn more.
My piece is called “Driftwood” and is one of the short-shorts I’ve been writing when all else – sanity and health, the novel I laughingly call “the work in progress”, longer short stories – breaks down into tiny pieces that look like they are impossible to stick back together. It’s not one of my
Horatio tales but it has a similar vibe.
So . . . you know . . . just . . . head on over to the Wyrd and grab the
PDF.
