Excursions from the Citadel is an anthology series of speculative fiction, poetry and art. We aim to present our readers with a selection of fantasy and science fiction that ranges from fun and pulpy to challenging and experimental. In this, our first issue, we offer six stories that are tied together by a theme we call Shifts in Shape. The story Atop a Pine Covered Mountain, tells a tale of adventure in which an East Coast academic gets in over his head studying a mystical cult. Labour of an Empress lays out the story of a young monarch struggling to find herself while crafting a magical weapon, and Grey chronicles the trials of a father who’s sanity is pushed to the brink as he cares for a son with supernatural abilities. These are stories of metamorphosis and transcendence in which physical change mirrors and accompanies the path of the characters.
While we promise you characters, we don’t promise you heroes. In addition, to the tales mentioned above, The Lady Down the Hall introduces us to a lecherous and indulgent wizard who refuse any act of love he hasn’t paid for. A Thread of Chance will acquaint you with Christine Ku’s fictional China and a powerful magic user named Zhang that has abandoned all responsibility seemingly on a whim. The first story of our anthology, Winged Invasion, follows the adventure of a nameless man who’s loyalties are torn between a homeland that treated him like a criminal and the horde of ruthless shape-shifters that have invaded it.
