2024-04-19 13:55:22 +0000 UTC View PostA dance across time, the devastating effects of an eclipse, an obituary in an online archive, the stain of strawberries, ghosts we do not want to see but cannot help walking alongside, the passing of a mentor, the passing of a city, a song that rips a soul, arrivals in meteor showers and broken spacecraft, or in panicked birds clasped inside our chests.
Issue 33 of The Deadlands contains six stories, four poems, and one piece of nonfiction. 2024-02-01 16:19:55 +0000 UTC View Post

I’m Elise, your cruise director—er, your fiction editor here at The Deadlands, and I thought it might be cool to give you a sneak peek at what we’ve got coming in the next few months. If it’s not cool, disregard this entire post! (It's cool, trust me.)
