Gwyllion
Gwyllion can be many things. The ghosts and spirits that haunt the halls at twilight, the dusk wanderers up to no good. The scoundrels and the miscreants. The wise old fae who take no nonsense from humans. Hags and witches, wisps and sprites, the gwyllion are every malevolent trickster that wanders the night in search of mischief. They are not your friends. Any who are so unfortunate to encounter the gwyllion are led astray, haunted, frightened quite to death. Cackling laughter and strange cries across the moor, voices hidden in the storm. Our magazine is a place you can get lost, if only for a moment, only to emerge to find a hundred years have passed. Our stories will enchant you, if you would let yourself be enchanted. We cannot promise you comfort, we cannot promise you safety. Only this; an experience, an adventure, a moment set apart from the mundane hum to find glory in the dark and hidden spaces in between. We will not be held responsible if you lose your way.

Laughs in Space
Donna Scott is an established science-fiction editor, who recently won the BSFA Award for Best Collection for The Best of British Science Fiction 2022. She just so happens to be a stand-up comedian too - an Old Comedian of the Year finalist, Some Antics Comedy finalist, and part of the multi-award-winning cast of The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen and has performed comedy at numerous science-fiction conventions over the years. With Laughs in Space, Donna looked for incisive science-fiction stories from the cream of the genre's contemporary authors, but with a funny twist. Stories that are funny, quirky, eyebrow-raising and heartwarming - or bleak and sweary if that's more your thing. Read stories about tech going wrong; broken spaceships; alien housemates; the tribulations of dating outside one's species, and the odd chicken. I mean really odd. There is black humour, there's absurdism, clever funny, silly funny - all kinds of funny!
