Luna Station Quarterly

We're all different, and in case it hasn't become clear to you yet, in these waning days of winter (nevermind the world), that's okay. More than okay, in fact. It's essential.Stories of love and loneliness, birth and death, wrapped in both fantasy and sci-fi coatings? It's all here. Witches and AI? Yep, got 'em. A scientist, a maker, a young magical baker? C'mon ... you know the answer by now.Here at Luna Station, our differences, our uniqueness, our ability to spotlight stories you won't find anywhere else, has been our strength since the very beginning.Thank you for joining us at the beginning of our eleventh year of offering the best in female fronted fiction. These voices are needed now more than ever.

Year eight of Luna Station Quarterly comes to a close, with a group of dark tales that would make Scrooge's gruel turn even colder than usual. These are not Christmas stories. Mercifully. As Christmas would likely never recover from the death, dystopia & melancholy presented here. But you're ready for a different perspective, and a counterbalance to the endless loop of Jingle Bells while squeezing your way through the mall shopping for things no one needs. Right? So find a quiet place, away from the noise, and let us entertain and upset you. From the longest night of the year to the long dark night of the soul, you can always count on Luna Station to reflect the world around us. Brrrrr.

Summer is upon us, and Year Seven of Luna Station Quarterly is in full bloom, with a gathering of rich, vibrant stories to keep you company during the longest days of the year. These are stories about families; the ones we're born into and the ones we make, human and non-human alike. Parents and children and siblings and grandparents and relationships stronger than blood, all filtered through the lenses of fantasy, science fiction and magical realism that have long been a hallmark of Luna Station. So go outside, turn off your devices, and remember to bring this issue with you, for moments of reflection amidst the endless green days to come.

Luna Station Press is proud to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our flagship Quarterly with this special anthology. The writers gathered in these pages, from every corner of the globe, are explorers of wonder, magic, and places beyond the stars. They are also explorers of what makes us human, in heart, mind, and spirit. Come explore the best we have to offer, as we look back fondly on the last five years and look ahead at what's to come. Featuring fifty stories by emerging women writers, with cover art by Hugo award-winner Julie Dillon.

The First Five Years

The Best of Luna Station Quarterly

Elegy and promise stand side by side in this, the thirty fourth issue of your favorite Quarterly. Eight talented authors once again give you glimpses of worlds both familiar and alien, moving backwards and forwards in time and space, from Louisiana & Chicago, to a dusty settlement and abandoned house that bring new flavors to our tired notions of the apocalypse. The women and girls in these stories, like the authors that created them, are balancing old and new, grudges and hope, life and death. May we all learn from their journeys, their wisdom, and their folly.

One of the great things about LSQ is that it's often like that proverbial box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Aside from fabulous female-fronted fiction, of course! This time, alongside unique reimaginings of the classic dragon, vampire and zombie tales (never mind some genuine ELDRITCH HORROR!), you will find a woman who used to be a bird, a baby with serious time travel chops and much more. Welcome to Year Twelve of Luna Station Quarterly. Daaaaaamn.
