My shattering and beautiful slipstream prose poem “The Oubliette” (written Winter 2024) from my ongoing “All Islands are Hydra” cycle will be in this issue. This one was difficult to submit and share with the universe as it’s from my heart/soul.
BFB5 coming May 28th!!
Lucas Kurz is back again with another beautiful cover! The story this cover is inspired by is "Idesvied Defied" by Charlie Winter. We absolutely adore Lucas's work and love how this one turned out -- cute and cozy but still with an underlining moodiness. 📚🪐 💀
