Timeworn Literary Journal Issue 3

by Allison Epstein, Kristen Loesch, Josefa Corpuz

Six historical stories with a dash of magic—transporting you to a middle-class Villa outside of Napoli infested with rats. To the walled city of Kowloon, Hong Kong. To a stuffy scriptorium in Oxford and the basement of a Czech Opera House. From the red dirt roads of colonial Sierra Leone, to the narrow vantage point of an Anchoress’s tiny cell. All within 60 pages.

84 pages, Kindle Edition
