I Read Online Magazines: Twist In Time Issue 7

Twist In Time Issue 7

Twist In Time's fairy tale themed issue was published 1st January and I have given up apologising for my backlog. Here are some of my personal highlights.

Fairer by December Lace, a lament from the stepmother who can never match the original parent.

More explicitly about Snow White, The Mirror Lie by Lucy Zhang makes the point that a magic mirror does not show what a mirror should and therefore...

Low Hanging Fruit by Aviva Treger is deeply in conversation with Christina Rosetti's The Goblin Market and even more so with all the tales of changelings and fairy bargains.

The Nymph and The Maiden by Laura Kincaid is about beauty and revenge, and also about diamonds and being unbreakable.

A Dragon's Tale by Bruce Louis Dodson, a light-hearted poem about a dragon and a mouse and a knight.

In The Tree Between Us by Grace Stafford a husband and a wife do not trust each other and the tree has perilous advice for them.

The Red Dress by Lucy Whitehead is a story about a fairytale dress with no fairytale to dress up for.

There's plenty of other stories as well that I didn't feel I had anything interesting to say about, and one poem that I wrote a long author's note about, because I am the author: On The Glass Mountain. You can ignore that one if you like.
