In the Great Hall the Spring issue opens with "Snip, Fidget, Boggle and Greeb" a novelette by Gary Battershell that should be read by anyone who wants to get ahead with the help of demonic intervention. James S. Dorr introduces us to Sarai, a desert woman whose best chance of survival may be stealing "The Blade of Gudrin." The protagonist of David Murphy's "White Flame of Ealga" has discovered something that will bring him riches, as well as the hostility of powerful druids. In W. Gregory Stewart's "Andevery," Shad Lesenweiter may be facing every dog owner's secret nightmare. John B. Rosenman tackles the same general theme, in a very different setting, with "In His Own Image." H. Turnip Smith brings us a story of children, betrayal, nursery rhymes and "A Song of Sixpence." On a darker note, David Bowlin explains "The World as it was Back Then."
In the Poetry section, multi-talented W. Gregory Stewart brings us "Alizarin Red S and Alcian Blue." Stephen Paling revisits familiar tales with "The Axe Handle Replies to the Trees" and "The Golden Goose." Matt Bahntge examines fanaticism in "The Crusader" while Judith Tracy's "Wolves Don't Lie" examines quieter, but no less important, issues. Bobbi Sinha-Morey gives us a glimpse of a single moment enjoyed by the "Sorceress of the Dawn."
This quarter, the art of Calvin W. Camp graces the site.
Enjoy the issue!
