Publisher's Synopsis
"The Bards and Sages Quarterly" features original short speculative fiction from both new and established authors. Our writers include first-time authors, Pushcart Prize nominees and Nebula award winners. With each issue, our goal is to bring readers the most inclusive collection of speculative fiction available.
In this issue:
A Human Resources manager finds herself in need of divine intervention when forced to deal with a troublesome new employee in "The Office Messiah."
While struggling to cope with his lover's illness, a man forms a strange bond with a mermaid trapped in an aquarium in "Last of Her Kind."
An anxious vampire hunter must confront the evils of his own actions in "A Stare From the Darkness."
If you could relive any 24 hour period of your life, what would it be? A woman answers this question and finds out more that she could have ever imagined in "The Spectator."
In a world where no female children are ever born, a religious rite to preserve humanity tests the bonds of friendship in "The Changing Tree."
These stories and others are found in this special double-issue.
