Radicle: fantasy stories by debut authors
From the Metaphorosis Library Collection, an anthology of fantasy stories by new authors.
Everyone starts somewhere. Whoever your favorite author is, there was a time they wrote their first story. This is a collection of stories that were their authors' first - first story sold, first story published, first story above token rates - all of these stories were first at something, and as often as not, the first story they published or sold at any rate.
These are all authors with talent - authors who are going somewhere. Authors who will be someone's favorite author some day. This collection of 19 stories is drawn from Metaphorosis magazine's first nine years of publication. The stories include everything from storytelling puppets to cultivated hope to women who may or may not be mermaids to crotchety wizards. Maybe one of these authors is your new favorite, waiting to be discovered!
