Editor Leigh Dragoon writes that the September 2008 issue of Byzarium is now available. The webzine, “dedicated to fantasy, sci-fi and horror fiction,” requests a subscription to view some of the content, though other stories are available freely.
The “bite-sized” issue includes two stories:
“The Mistman” by Michael John Grist. Dragoon writes “I liked this story because it feels like an old-timey fairy tale: disturbing as fuck and more than happy to crawl into your back-brain and set up residence there. A welcome prelude to the creep-fest that will be the October issue.”
“An Occurrence at Oakpost Sundries” by Jacob P. Silvia. “This was actually initially submitted as a Bad-Fic contest submission. This entry had a little something extra to it, however, that convinced me it needed to be bumped up to a regular submission. And it has zombies. I am a sucker for well written zombies.”
She also notes that there were a lot of entries for their flash fiction contest last month, and that the winner will be showcased in the October issue. In addition “a new flash fiction contest image will be posted on Monday 15 Sepetmber.” Details will be available on this page.
