Free shipping until August 20! This is an amazing issue. It's Disability Pride month. Get this. It's full of amazing work by disabled authors, including yours truly. I have a hair-raising story about an old woman who becomes a polar bear. For vengeance.

I love this cover art. I have a story in this issue about a guy stuck in a time loop at a protest--but the time loop doesn't quite work the way you'd expect. Since the issue is delayed, you can pre-order with free shipping until August 20th!

In light of the delay, we are offering free shipping on all pre-ordered issues until August 20th. Canadian Addresses: thefiddlehead.submittable.com/submit/34994... International Addresses: thefiddlehead.submittable.com/submit/34994...
