Feels Like the End of the World – Austin Shirey

Weekly free Wyldblood fiction: subscribe here.

We’re publishing a story with a content warning this week – Austin Shirey’s Feels Like the End of the World. We don’t normally do this, so it’s worth explaining. It’s a story about grief, loss and its aftermath – beautifully written, but some might find it disturbing. For that reason, we’re not reprinting it here but you can find the full tale on its landing page here or for a week on our main site’s front page here. And there are plenty of other stories (without trigger warnings) here.

look out for:

Madalena Dalezou’s Master Craftsman’s Apology, a twisted fantasy tale of revenge and regret

Holley Cornetto’s The Orchard of Dreams, a wistful fantasy.
Y.M. Resnik’s Magic is Like a Box of Chocolates, all about how tough life is for trainee magical heroes and the difficult choices they have to make.
