May’s features from our newest issue, Mythic Delirium 0.4, are now online.   This month’s new fiction comes from Cedar Sanderson. “Milkweed” is a bittersweet story of common ground found between human and fey.   Our poems this month take revisionist looks at time-honored fairy tale notions. “The Silver Comb” by Mari Ness adds to the terror of the banshee a twist of longing, and Jane Yolen’s “Never Told” presents us with the flip side of Happily Ever After.  

I’m proud to present three more poems from our print archives, free for your entertainment consumption, all of them originally published in 2012.   From Issue 26:   • The first draft of John Philip Johnson’s “Plutoid” was written in one of my ReaderCon poetry workshops.

I’m pleased to be able share three stories from our anthology Clockwork Phoenix 3: New Tales of Beauty and Strangeness.   Marie Brennan re-imagines the story of the expulsion from Eden in “The Gospel of Nachash.”   C.S.E. Cooney shares a dark and bittersweet tale of love, transgressions and vengeful spirits in her novelette “Braiding the Ghosts.”   Cat Rambo offers a hallucinatory future vision in “Surrogates.”   I hope you enjoy these.
