Anvil: Iron Age Magazine is no longer funding, but can be purchased “in demand” on Indiegogo. My short story, Afflicted: Nourritures les Ver, will be included in this issue along with a number of comics and shorts by other independent authors like me.
I can only speak for myself, but I am extremely excited about this magazine and my small place in it. I believe Nourritures les Ver will fit comfortably on the shelves of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fans alike. I hope the blurb below whets you appetite for more.
Afflicted: Nourritures les Ver by Jaime Faye Torkelson
Amélia Mitre is Afflicted. Cursed by a pact of her own making, she is made to follow the Weird Way of Scealfe, God of Death of Decay. Summoned to the industrializing city of Beauanne, the Cursed Doctor finds herself investigating a disturbing disease that defies the laws of nature and therefore, the laws of her dark patron. She must discover the origins of the plague and punish anyone foolish enough to pretend rivalry with the God of Death.
If you choose to support Anvil, let them know I sent you. Your support, no matter how small, helps keep the flame of independent IPs alive and I cannot thank you enough!
My thanks, first and foremost, to God, who likes stories more than I do.
Secondly, the team at Iron Age Media has been great to work with. I highly recommend you check out their website.
And, finally, to the readers, who deserve good stories I hope my small offering fits the bill.
