Author Description

The Bards and Sages Quarterly features original short speculative fiction from both new and established authors. Our writers include first-time authors, Pushcart Prize nominees and Nebula award winners. With each issue, our goal is to bring readers the most inclusive collection of speculative fiction available. In this issue: Author James Carpenter introduces us to an institution whose primary purpose is to preserve the realm of the possible in "The Library of Unfinished Books." A woman discovers that sometimes finding the perfect man means looking in some strange places in "Not Your Type." A prehistoric con artist reveals that sometimes presentation is more important than actual content in "Zuk and Zub: A Fable for Our Time." Plus more stories.
