Ghosts & Guilds

Fantasy stories with teeth This quarter’s issue is all about what we leave behind us when we die, and what in the living world could be important enough to bring us back from the grave. We’re talking hauntings, warnings, horrific hoards and spooky saviours. The ghosts you’ll meet in this issue’s stories run the gamut from friendly faces and old echoes to spectres that are downright terrifying, but what ties them all together is that they are memories: memories of loves lost, of wrongs unavenged and tasks left unfinished. In the world of ghosts, grudges are never forgotten and comeuppances – though sometimes a little delayed – are never escaped. We’re also bringing you an interview with ghostly hybrid author Arden Powell and three reviews of indie novels from our review team, all on the theme of Ghosts & Guilds. So let’s get spooky. There’s plenty here to sink your teeth into.
