non fiction

Welcome to the non fiction section, where we explore the relevance of Objects, Artefacts and Talismans in speculative fiction. In this issue our writers discuss magic mirrors and distorted reflections in myth and fantasy, gruesome holy relics of the Middle Ages, and where Talismans get their power from. Once again, we challenge our Unbeliever to enjoy a piece of speculative literature, and in A Letter To..., Laurel tells Susan Cooper how important The Dark is Rising series was to her growing up.
