All Worlds Wayfarer (Literary Magazine)

I was listening to History Hits, “The Ancients” podcast about #Myths. They mentioned one called “the devil and the smith” and I wonder if the Andersen’s “The Red Shoes” story is a variation of it 🤔

You can find my own original version The Red Shoes in @awwlitmag.bsky.social dark fantasy anthology.

It's an amazing story! We can't wait to share it with the world!

Snippet from "The First Woman of the Qingyan Sect" by Chezza Lee in the All Worlds Wayfarer Into the Dark anthology: "We were taught to protect this town from the forces that lived in the shadows. As I grew, the memories of blood, the iron-lashed stench of death, lessened in intensity. I reiterated Shifu’s words so often, they became my own personal mantra. Fight evil. Save the innocent. But it wasn’t until I descended the mountain that I realized my choices would never be that simple."

A snip from my short, "The First Woman of the Qingyan Sect," in the @awwlitmag.bsky.social Into the Dark anthology 🖤 10 days left to get kickstarter rewards, such as digital/hard copy issues, stickers, bookmarks, digital art, and more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

Okay, I just read that when polled 74% of American parents admitted to stealing some of their children's Halloween candy. And I am shocked--SHOCKED!--the number is so low.

Funding Goals!

The anthology is alive, but it needs more voices to grow stronger. 🌑
