More Stories for Summer Days
Welcome to the July 2022 issue of Swords & Sorcery Magazine. Once again, I present three new stories for you to enjoy.
“After the Adventure”, by Stephen C. Curro, is about what happens after the treasure is long gone. Curro’s short stories have been seen in The Fifth Di…, Daily Science Fiction, and Acorn. He has also published a novelette, The Spark. This is his first appearance in Swords & Sorcery.
In “A Tree with Rotting Roots”, by Jamie Lackey, a knight tasked with bringing a woman to justice begins to learn what justice truly is. Lackey’s work has appeared in Daily Science Fiction, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Apex Magazine, and previously in Swords & Sorcery.
“The Fishmonger”, by Joshua Turner, recounts what a pair of monster hunters find when they venture to Blacksalt Harbor. Related stories by Turner have been previously published 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 the occasional publication of longer fiction, as well. Please query before submitting anything not clearly within the guidelines.
Until next month…
