We have a super-sized issue for you this month, featuring a bunch of Byzarium alumni! First up, in Tolga Bilgen's dark fantasy story Three Humors, an innkeeper's daughter dreams of her lost brother. The aliens arrive on Earth in Mark Allan Gunnell's humorous Take Me To Your Cheerleader. And in Tamara Wilhite's Repeating History's Mistakes, a teacher is forced to watch his student attempt to pass a test with only one possible out-come.

Don't go running off just yet, though! We also have an interview with Liz Dejesus, the author of Nina, a story about a woman who's painting comes to life, AND a review of the book Mélusine by Byzarium editor Barbara J. Webb.
