Happy New Year, everyone! Welcome to 2008. This marks the beginning of Byzarium's fourth year. We wish everyone an auspicious (and creative!) year.

In this month's issue we have:

The Moon is Shattered
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Sometimes the poisoned fruit looks the sweetest.

Under the Apple Tree
by Val Cunningham
Eternal devotion, as advertised.

Too Hot To Handle
by Sandra Panicucci
Not every prisoner's spirit can be broken.

There's also a new Flash Fiction Contest image!

The entries are rolling in! You have until Feb 29th to submit your Bad-Fic Contest entry.

Except for the Flash contest and the Bad-Fic Contest, Byzarium will be closed to submissions for the time being. We've got stories selected through to April, and I'm going through the slush pile. Please hold off on novella submissions, as well, since I'm reading through several as well. We'll let you guys know when we open our submissions back up!
