And, here’s a look at what you will find in our Autumn issue …

Ceren of the Surf, one of cover artist Bronwyn Schuster’s Knights of the Drowned Table, guards the watery portal to our autumn offerings. But more than water flows past the dead in feature author Kate Heartfield’s chilling tale of corporate cover-ups, ‘The Investigation Is Sealed’.

Ravens, monsters, and zombies steal the show — and a few souls — in ‘A Fair Exchange’ by Tom Jolly, ‘Liar’s Leap’ by Jonathan Sean Lyster, and ‘Bad Backup’ by Mikayla Fawcett and Gabriel Craven.

Meanwhile, artistic adventures in celluloid and spider’s silk await in ‘The Projectionist’ by Lisa Alo Seaman and ‘A Weaver’s Web’ by Barry Charman.

The smell of goats and the secrets of ghosts haunt the pages of ‘The Shepherdess: Narbonne’ by JM Landels and ‘Take My Hand: Exit Light’ by Mel Anastasiou.

And poetry from our Magpie Award winners Angela Rebrec, Cicely Grace, and Veronika Gorlova reminds us that even the darkest of nights end in sunrise.

Issue 44, Autumn 2024 is on sale till November 1st. Get it here!

Bronwyn explores many mediums, including oil, gouache, watercolour, and coloured pencil to create drawings, paintings, and murals that weave nature and folklore together. Through art making, the artist seeks to find the magic in the mundane and the ordinary in the fantastic.
