This week's story by Brian K. Lowe brings with it mysterious and contemplative vibes. What choice would you make? #fiction #angels #faith #faithcrisis

Our first poem from Sadie Marie Hutchings has some serious fairy tale vibes while capturing the experience being born again. We love Sadie's work as one of the editors of Still Small Stories, and we're excited to publish her writing this week! #fairytale #poetry #atonement

We're so excited about DC Wynters's essay on the problem of evil in Brandon Sanderson's Wax & Wayne series, comparing discussions of evil in the D&C with Harmony's statements and actions in the second Mistborn series. #brandonsanderson #mistborn #waxandwayne #latterdaysaint

Have you been enjoying Opera of the Abyss? Look for a new piece publishing tomorrow!

New fiction from Lee Allred! We hope you enjoy "Opera of the Abyss, Part 1: Murder and the Rue Morgue." Join Field Agent Nils Lund of the Republic of Deseret as he pursues an unnatural monster and a stolen invention across the rooftops of Paris. With art by Kevin Wasden. #althistory #steampunk
