Weird Fiction Quarterly continues the tradition of bringing you the finest in 500 word flash-fiction! (We dare you to find better!) In this, our fifth anthology, we bring you 41 wintry tales of weird wonder guaranteed to make you want to pull up a chair before a warm fire and wrap yourself in blanket and cat, because these stories are cold and will chill you to the bone. You won’t have time to do that, though. This is, after all, Weird Fiction Quarterly. You can never be prepared for what might happen. In here the eternal night is dark and frigid and filled with monsters. Let’s get cold.

It’s Summer and what better way to celebrate than with the latest issue of Weird Fiction Quarterly? From the same demented gang that brought you the Winter and Fall installments, bring this new Summer edition with you to the beach, and perhaps, use it as a rolled-up weapon to hit your younger sibling AFTER you’ve read it. (This last suggestion is not endorsed by the Weird Fiction Quarterly Staff. We never advocate violence. Never. -The Editor)

Weird Fiction Quarterly does Folk Horror! Once again we bring you the finest in our now-signature 500 word flash fiction and exquisite poetry contributions, featuring over 60 writers from all around the globe and a dubious burlap sackful of color illustrations by our own Sarah Walker! Visit a strange, quaint village where the yearly festival is Everything. Call on the cunning woman or the witch doctor for a cure that might cost your very soul. Go deep into the woods in search of what may be a monster—or some forgotten god that Must be Appeased. Find a famous cryptid or two in (very) unexpected places! However you think of Folk Horror, hold onto your garland of flowers, because, as with every issue of Weird Fiction Quarterly, there is no possible way to prepare yourself for what could pop up in these pages. Portals open and close; trees are not what they seem. Tales from different countries and cultures intermingle. From the wilds you hear the reel of bewitching pipes. Whether or not you follow them, folks, things around these parts are about to get really weird!

Now in FULL COLOR! Weird Fiction Quarterly returns for its fourth installment, rounding out the seasonal cycle with a special double-sized volume featuring two themes: Fall and Halloween!

The bewitching cover painting by Robert H. Knox makes this issue a cherishable autumnal keepsake. And if that weren’t enough, this issue features a bagful of spectral poetry by K.A. (The Pumpkin King) Opperman, Adam Bolivar, and Maxwell I. Gold.

Georgia's wealthiest, most eccentric family is back, and this time someone is trying to murder them using devilishly creative methods. Can FBI Special Agent Carson Burns find the culprit before it's too late, or will she become another victim?

The South's most eccentric family is back, and this time they are battling the supernatural.

Fact mixes with fantasy as a hairless blue horse discovered in South Africa in 1860, grazing with a herd of zebra, becomes the object of a quest by a trio of unlikely time travelers. Rosina, an intrepid Victorian young lady, her fiance, Ned York, who was imprisoned in the Tower of London by his uncle, Richard III, and the irascible Olga from Czarist Russia must work together to obtain the horse from its owner, an amiable but none-too-bright English peer who has scandalized his neighbors by marrying a circus bareback rider. Along the way are visits to two bizarre fin de siecle Paris nightclubs and an encounter with a talking brass head who tells the worst ghost stories you have ever heard. There's also a demanding, narcissistic twenty-fourth-century celebrity who wants to make a troupe of convincing-looking fairies appear to Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Rosina encounters an unexpected person on her trip to the past to obtain the blue horse: Her father. He's only nineteen and has no idea who she is. Should she warn him of the railway accident that will kill him twenty-six years in the future and lead to her becoming a time traveler? Complicating things further is a shady character claiming to be an American millionaire who wants the blue horse for reasons of his own.
