Welcome back to the pages of the Kyanite Press! This is a very special issue, as it wraps up our first year of the journal. We never imagined the amazing response we have received, both from the writing community and from our readers. This has been a labor of love, and it has been worth every minute.Returning to the feel of the first ever issue back in September of 2018, rather than having a single theme, we have assembled here a mixture of fantasy, science fiction, and weird tales. Everything from space travel to sword-wielding heroics can be found within these pages. One of the most wonderful outcomes of publishing the journal has been discovering a variety of stories with styles and themes we might have never otherwise dreamed of, and this issue showcases that.
