Peace Fantastic Melanauts, After quite a few hurdles, the 2nd Black Faery Antho is close to layout. There are still slots for flash fiction, a few longer tales, and images. The initial call was sent in the author-copy packets to contributors of the 1st tome. The guidelines have been pretty much the same as the first (see below). The deadline’s been set for January 27th...

[Essay on Traditional POC-Fae] A Splash of Topical...
In terms of classical monsters or mythic beings fairies get the least amount of airplay. Vampires dominate center stage, zombies are pretty well represented in the modern world, werewolves, and mages get their grove on also. Yetfairies, they’re rare. Also in the abovelist of beings, interms of literature and films, they are usually always portrayed as being of the European persuasion...

Tonight, Conjoo island twists and writhes with the cackle-horn blows and stin-stin beats of Bacaban-Fairy songs. The Conjooners hear the soft overtures to these songs just moments before the Bacaban-Train arrives and the...

Carole Mcdonnell on how she began mythwhispering
I began writing speculative fiction around 1981, but sporadically. I was primarily concerned with poetry and with mainstream fiction. Then I grew to understand that the issues that concerned me — honor, virtues, nobility, endurance— were best dealt with in speculative fiction. Plus I had a knack for creating worlds. Whether it’s science fiction, fantasy, alternate reality,...
A word from contributor Valjeanne Jeffers
We contacted some of the authors that wrote faery-based stories for the anthology not seen in the 1st view we released on 5/10, that we thought would like to share why the mythwhisper, and wrote stories for Lunewing. Valjeanne Jeffers is one of these contributors. Well known in Lycan circles as the author of Immortal, she crafted an engaging tale introducing us to her trolls, winged ones, and even...

Lé m’ t’yon ti gason an—when I was a little boy—I believed it was Père Noël who left kado under the Christmas tree for me and my sisters. Me and Jeanne-Marie and Nathalie would put our shoes by the fireplace and fill them with carrots and pain patate for Père Noël and his donkey the night before Christmas. And while we slept three-in-a-bed, Père Noël would let us know in...
Valjeanne Jeffer's 'The Visitor' (An excerpt from...
Lazare peered through the second story window. He was perched on the fire escape and would’ve been visible to any passersby except for the spell he’d cast to make himself dim. He was invisible to the human eye — that is as long as no one looked in his direction for too long. If they did a creature obviously not of their world would seem to appear out of thin air.
The troll shifted his feet...
Milton Davis' Bigger (an excerpt from LuneWing)
Zeke leaped off the front porch of the shotgun shack, almost landing on the hound dog and scattering the chickens rooting around the persimmon tree. His back burned where Poppa’s strap hit him; Zeke darted across the freshly plowed snap bean field and plunged into the pines, ignoring the briars cutting into his bare arms.
“Bring yo @ss back here, boy!” Poppa shouted....
Updates on The Black Faery Anthologies...
Despite at least 3 technical glitches now that threw off the release date significantly, all is coming together swimmingly <3 We released a mini Purple issue (9.5) on the 24th of April to provide a boon during the waiting game, imposed by a print-shop with a broken scanner that was necessary to the remainder of the layout process (didn’t help either that some of the illustrators we...

The Realm of Black Faery
image: PurpleZoe a.k.a Dazjae ‘Moonvein Eth’ Zoem
BlackFaery (the POC realm of enchantments) is a realm that’s remained fairly hidden during the times colonization has taken power, but it is in our history predating colonization, far before the invasions of the West. As we dig up past gems, and recreate new ones, the BlackFaery group will share the gems, through Anthologies,...
