The Stories

“On the Other Side of Winter” by C. H. Hung

Winter deity Scotty survived Ragnarök, only to suffer a soul-crushing loss to a god-killing virus. Reeling, Scotty withdraws into her grief and avoids answering the demands of her role. Every prayer plaguing her consciousness reminds her of what she lost, and she is bone-tired of losing.
But the mountain town Scotty now calls home and the ski slopes it depends on for winter tourism are dry, and the mortals have gathered during Ullr Festival to call upon the god of skiing to deliver snow.

Except that the god of skiing is dead. And the only one left who can hear, much less answer, the mortals’ prayers is Scotty.

With the help of her only remaining friend—a fellow deity who happens to loathe winters—Scotty must discover a new path to walk in this new world… one in which she not only survives, but thrives.


 
 
“Happy Music and Dancing Feet” by Leah R. Cutter

But what happens when your magic leads you astray?

 
 
 
 
 

“Last Christmas” by Dayle A. Dermatis

Former Hollywood party girl Nikki Ashburne sees ghosts. In fact, many of them are her friends. Okay, they’re kind of her only friends.

But when four 1980s British partiers disrupt her family’s Alpine Christmas—a holiday already fraught with tension—Nikki must play mediator, otherwise for someone, it might be their last Christmas.

 
 
 
 
 

“Doctor Rudolfo Puts his Foot Down” by DeAnna Knippling

Connor McDevitt has a talent: reading fortunes. It’s not exactly going to waste; on Saturdays he tells fortunes as Doctor Rudolfo at the local toys and games store. But it’s not like he can get a degree in fortune telling. He has to pick a path forward, a path that involves so-so high school grades, a little brother his mom can’t take care of alone, and no real interest in growing upand joining the “real” world.

And, oh yeah. The ability to see ghosts.

When Connor is invited to a party by his crush, he thinks it’s a date—but it might just be a chance to make the biggest decision of his life.

 
 

“Pact Breaker” by Stefon Mears

An elaborate private party, for the rich and beautiful. Names known throughout Portland, Oregon, and beyond.

Every one of them owes their wealth to a demonic pact. Their fortunes built on the suffering of innocents.

Tonight, one man invades their midst. One man, who would topple all they have.

If he can…

 
 
“After Hours” by Rebecca M. Senese

Given the honour of finding the Winter Solstice Queen for the Fae Court, Heiral arrives to search in the city.

Darkness looms, bringing dangers a faerie never imagined. But Heiral’s determination never wavers.

Not when a successful mission marks Heiral’s rise in the Court.

 
 
 
 
“Dance Hall Days” by Jamie Ferguson

Kelly and her friends went all out to match the Big Band Era theme of the local humane society’s annual charity ball. They decide to take a break from dancing and explore the old, quirky hotel the event is being held at, and are having a great time…until they watch a young couple walk past them and go right through a wall! Where were the ghosts heading? The answer lies behind the wall itself…
