Issue 145, February 2024
Year Thirteen Begins!
Welcome to the February 2024 issue of Swords & Sorcery Magazine. Would you believe that this is the 145th issue of S&SM. That means this is the beginning of another year of publication and S&SM is still going forward with twelve years behind it. In this issue I have three more stories for your reading pleasure.
In “Fate of the Fair” by Gustavo Bondoni, Junglo the Barbarian must survive with nothing but his wits after he angers a sorceress with a drunken indiscretion. Bondoni has published novels as well as stories in several languages and many different publications, including previously in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
“Djora Gumo”, by Vaughn A. Jackson, features a shipwrecked warrior in a spider-haunted forest. Jackson is an author and editor of dark speculative fiction. This is his first appearance in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
In “Dragon Born”, by Chad A. B. Wilson, a thief guards a noblewoman hunted by a sinister cult. Wilson’s stories have appeared in the Dragons & Heroines anthology, Vanishing Point Magazine, Savage Realms Monthly, and previously in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
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 in addition to short fiction. I may consider the occasional publication of longer fiction, as well. Please query before submitting anything not clearly within the guidelines.
Until next month…
