Landing Soon: Monsters!
Coming soon: Weird Fiction Quarterly's first installment of 2024. Our theme this time: Monsters!
After a period a bit longer than we expected, we're wrapping up work on the latest installment of Weird Fiction Quarterly, our issue with the theme of MONSTERS.
The final preparation is being wrapped up so we can ship the manuscript off to Amazon, but we figured we'd share the cover, illustrated by none other than the founder of WFQ, Russell Smeaton.
