All Worlds Wayfarer is a quarterly literary magazine specializing in character-and-theme-driven speculative fiction. We celebrate stories that take readers on tours through wonderful and terrifying realms, evocative visions, and eye-opening new lives. When our readers come home, they should return ever so slightly changed for having made the journey. After all, the most powerful stories transcend, enlighten, and entertain at once.
“Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” -Plato
Our autumnal 2022 issue—sparkling with anticipation and mystery—includes 13 stories spanning the speculative fiction spectrum:
Preflight by P.G. Streeter
"By the afternoon's fading light, the lake looks like the frozen surface of another world—but she has visited these before."
From Out of the Glamour by Dale L. Sproule
“I’m a girl, not a goblin!” she snapped, surprised at how strange and creaky her voice sounded.
Stranger Than a Swan by Mary E. Lowd
"The two beings stared at each other, bright brown eyes and glowing red eyes, sizing each other up."
Ella's Roses by Sarah EA Hart
"Blood. One single, tiny drop of blood. One perfect little bubble of welled-up red blood, shivering on his hand, ready to spill with the slightest tilt of his palm."
My Dearest Astrid Doppia by James Edward O'Brien
"Sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong decision coming here. Other times I just wish that you were up here with me."
Ernest in All Seasons by Michael Robert
"Ernest became a recurring subject in my sketchbook, always depicted as a king doing kingly things."
Le Saga Electrik by Logan Thrasher Collins
"In the great domain of Zeitgeist, Ekatarinas decided that the time to replicate herself had come."
The Sin Jar by Elizabeth Guilt
"What did they do, when the knowledge of things they had done became too much?"
Facing Your Fears by Martin Lochman
"Then the memories come flooding right back: the crash, coming up to the surface of an endless ocean."
The Woman in Blue by Carol Holland March
"Not until he met the woman in blue did he learn that the silver thread belonged to him."
After by Em Harriett
"'No, humans raised the water like gods and reaped the consequences. If you’d stayed in the drowned city you would have died.'"
A Garden for a Heart by Nicki Vardon
"The seedling wrapped its way around his thoracic spine and sprouted buds and petals that unfurled into a wild rose."
This Kindle edition will also feature an exclusive bonus story by editor Rowan Rook.
Venture beyond the mundane with the best of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and magical realism.
