Three-Lobed Burning Eye Volume VII

A vacationing couple dock in the city-state of Venera where canals, wonder, and secrets abound. A small band of survivors searches for a lost friend and a new god. I’ve known you since we were young, we came from the same town, the place no one leaves. The murder of a clockwork man still requires investigation. Every birth is difficult—every feather, every beak.
Three-Lobed Burning Eye magazine features short stories that migrate through the realms of horror and the fantastical, exploring strange worlds, lurking monsters, and whispered secrets. This volume collects stories from masters of the craft and new voices.
