Fantasy Magazine is an online magazine focusing exclusively on fantasy fiction. In its pages, you will find all types of fantasy—from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales…and anything and everything in between. Fantasy Magazine is entertainment for the intelligent genre reader—we publish stories of the fantastic that make us think, and tell us what it is to be human. And in our December 2011 issue...
Our lead story this month is from new author Nike Sulway, who captures the soul-changing powers of grief in "Her Lover's Golden Hair."
In our feature interview this month, Andrew Penn Romine talks to Puss in Boots director Chris Miller about the new film and the films that might have been. The interview reveals the scoop on Antonio Banderas, the Golden Goose, and the giant who almost made it into the animated film.
Everyone casts a shadow, but somehow shadows are still mysterious, powerful, intriguing. Joe R. Lansdale explores one man's strange relationship with his shadow in "Torn Away."
Veronica Schanoes examines the role of the shadow in literature and folklore in her article "The Deathly Shadows in Our Lives."
Children love to play at being heroes. In Seanan McGuire's "Crystal Halloway and the Forgotten Passage," one teenage girl has found a world where she really can save the day. But can she stay there?
Alasdair Stuart examines travel via portal magic in his article "Falling With Style."
Journey back to ancient Rome in "Vici," by Naomi Novik—and learn just what Julius Caesar meant when he said: "veni, vidi, vici."
Genevieve Valentine divides to conquer the many categories of literary dragons in her article "Three Dragons.”
