Issue 146, March 2024
Whatever Your Weather
Welcome to the March 2024 issue of Swords & Sorcery Magazine, issue 146. In this issue I present three more stories for your reading pleasure while the season changes to spring here in changeable New England. Whatever your weather, I hope you enjoy them.
In “I Will Give You a Crown of Gems to Wear” by J. M. Cyrus, disaster becomes a new life for an adventurer beneath an obsidian mountain. Cyrus’s work has appeared in a number of places in print and on-line including previously in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
“Greys and Smokes and Silvers and Steels”, by Sean Jones, is the tale of a magical battle in a sorcerous arena. His work has appeared previously in Swords & Sorcery Magazine.
“The River Tokoloshe”, by D. J. Tyrer, is the story of a wandering warrior who agrees to deal with an evil river spirit threatening a village. Tyrer’s stories have appeared in anthologies and in magazines including Broadswords and Blasters, Tales for the Magician’s Skull, 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 an X, formerly Twitter feed, @SwordsNSorcery, and a Bluesky account @curtissandsm.bsky.social 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…
