Wanna date a dragon? How about defend yourself in court with an orc as your lawyer? Or maybe you want to just sit in your loft and have a couple beers with your imaginary friend, or follow Merlin and his final days as he fights to stay alive.
No seriously, what if your girlfriend's skin was stolen by a hag?
Or if you found sheet music to a song to end the world...what would you do?
Dragons, Droids & Doom: Year One is a collection of all the stories published online by Fantasy Scroll Magazine's in its first year. It includes a wide range of speculative short stories from fantasy to science fiction to horror. Some stories deal with death, others may leave you laughing to death. It's all here, and it's fantastic.
Take a look; you won't be disappointed. You will find names that you surely recognize such as Mike Resnick, Ken Liu, Piers Anthony, and Cat Rambo, but you will also find up-and-coming writers and even writers whose very first stories are found between the pages of this anthology. There's a mix of sub-genre stories that will keep you reading through the end.
Fantasy Scroll Magazine, who provided the stories for this anthology, is a bi-monthly publication featuring science fiction, fantasy, horror, and paranormal short fiction from speculative writers
from around the world. The magazine was launched in late 2013, and after a successful Kickstarter campaign, published its first issue in March of 2014. Besides short stories ranging from micro-fiction to full-length, the magazine also includes interviews with authors and editors, reviews of movies, games, and books, and other non-fiction articles. Our mission is to publish high-quality, entertaining, and thought-provoking speculative fiction.
