Celebrating our 13th year in publication! Welcome to The Bards and Sages Quarterly, a journal of speculative fiction. With each issue, we strive to bring readers a wide range of character-driven fiction from established and emerging authors in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction fields. The Bards and Sages Quarterly is the perfect sampler to explore the incredible range of storytelling found in the speculative genres. Here is a sample of what you will find in this issue: The dead victim of a serial killer goes to extreme lengths to prevent him from killing again in Forever Fourteen. A contract lawyer for magical creatures gets caught up in the investigation of the source of a mysterious wailing coming from a hotel room in Force Majeure. The death of a young girl in a poor village changes her community in drastic ways when her hair continues to grow long after her death in The Corpse's Crown of Glory.

Bards and Sages Quarterly (January 2021)

Issue 9 of Underland Arcana arrives with the first breath of spring. The first thaw, perhaps. Definitely in time for that first kiss-that first blush of awareness.  This issue contains stories by Fayaway & Hermester Barrington, Daniel David Froid, David Bradley, Jason Washer, Roni Stinger, J. P. Oakes, A. P. Howell, Eric Witchey, Kiya Nicoll, and Erik Kollmer. Stories about what we hold on to after love leaves us, stories about who we wished we could be, stories about the terrible things that haunt us, and stories about the way the rest of the world is haunted. This issue is the one where we reveal the mask beneath the face we were wearing last year. Don't be surprised. We're still the same on the inside.
