For the week of Halloween, a time when minds turn to the imagination, our contributors take us to other worlds.
“The Society” by Marla Johnson is a sequel to an earlier piece, also published by Wild Violet, about a young werewolf seeking vengeance.
In “Robotomy” by Joe Andriano, two androids fall in love and kick off a robot revolution.
“The Briar Speaks” by Gabriella M. Belfiglio provides a different perspective on a well-known fairy tale.
In “Obsession” by Megan Sierra Smith, two girls bond in a post-apocalyptic world.
