Indie Bites

Fantasy stories with teeth This quarter’s issue is all about wishes and wizards – it might sound very much like a fairy tale, but we have stories in all kinds of subgenres, from cosy to dark, from humorous to bittersweet, and everything else besides. This is also our longest issue yet, with a total of eleven stories exploring wide-ranging themes from sweet first love to the ethics of magic and war. In this issue you’ll meet former heroes, scatter-brained wizards, stoic mountaineers, charming princes, dashing treasure hunters, and of course, a variety of wishers both well-intentioned and wicked. On top of all that, we also have an interview with fantastic indie author Colleen Cowley. So let’s get wishful. There’s plenty to sink your teeth into.
