Mark Rigney

Seven great new science fiction and fantasy stories from established writers and rising stars. Our longest story this time is from Jacey Bedford, with her Song of Unmaking - a superpowers tale with tragic consequences. We've got a rare SF story from successful crime novelist Steve Burford - The Art of War - delving between the blurred lines of what's real and what isn't. Mark Rigney's Boggle Dog and Blue Cat gives us more robot-based SF. Liam Hogan gives us another excellent story - Two Percent - all about black holes and the prospects of surviving one. We also have a new tale from Holley Cornetto; Maiden of the Rock is a fantasy story (yes, mermaids) and continues our tradition of thoughtful tales that challenge your assumptions. Cardiff writer JL George gives us Coblyn, an unsettling fantasy horror and M Luke McDonell's The Obscurists rounds out our collection, a character-based sci-fi portal story with plenty of action. Our strongest collection yet - all new excellence that will linger long in the memory.

Every three months, our anthology magazine showcases around ten new science fiction and fantasy stories. We've given you magicians and monsters, astronauts and aliens and much more: one thing you can safely say about our writers is that they're imaginative. Talented, too. These are some of our favourites from the hundreds of stories we've published so far in our magazine and in our weekly Wyld Flash slot on our website. There are many more great stories we could have chosen, but they're all still available - our flash fiction is free to read online at www.wyldblood.com. And past issues of Wyldblood are also still available through the website, through Amazon or (by order) from bookstores. We've got wide tastes, but we have got a house style - Wyldblood is the place for thoughtful, solidly written character-based stories, and we've got plenty in this collection, starting with Holley Cornetto's Coal Dust and Shadows, the very first story from our very first issue, all about love, loss and ghosts. Further in, we've got an ice princess and a dragon army, a reluctant village guardian who dreams of escape, a haunted mountain crying with the souls of lost travellers, cautionary tales about handling demons, the dangers and delights of clever androids, spectral echoes of the past, magical solutions to armageddon and a musician pulled from the past trying to find his way in a world he barely comprehends. This collection features speculative fiction from Holley Cornetto, JL George, Anne Karppenen, Denali Stannard, Mark Rigney, David Dixon, Holly Barrett, Wayne Faust, Adam Breckenridge, James Rowland, Celene Low, Brianna Suazo, Cheryl Sonnier, Kai Delmas and Karl Dandenell.

Magic, robots and time travel in the latest Wylblood Magazine, featuring ten new science fiction and fantasy stories about the death of trees, tattoos with mystical powers, the downside of shop-bought pasta sauce, insect killers, missing fairy tales, weaponising androids, unusually clever androids, flashbacks backwards, a man to avoid (if you can) and the explosive return of Wyldblood favourite Dash Nine as the repurposed security bot shows his true colours (which, inevitably, may result in casualties).
