Heroic Fantasy Quarterly is an ezine dedicated to publishing short works of heroic fantasy. More than that, through both prose and poetry we hope to hearken an older age of storytelling — an age when a story well told enthralled audiences. Traits of great oral storytelling survive the ages to influence treasures of literature, the pulps, radio plays, late-night game sessions, and now Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.

Fiction Contents
THE HAND OF AFAZ, by Euan Harvey A perhaps cautionary tale of the dangers of non-secular government. We think you’ll love Farid, a hero who must correct the injustices of his religious masters but do so without turning his back on Afaz — the god both Farid and his masters claim to serve.
MONSTER IN THE MOUNTAINS, by William Gerke This is why you don’t open the door to strangers. Especially if you’re stranger than the stranger.
THE WAKING OF ANGANTYR, by Marie Brennan Ancient magics, old secrets, and new fates meld in this retelling of an old Norse poem. HFQ has found its first female hero!
Poetry Contents
THE LAY OF CUTHRED KING, by Joshua Hampton A shining example of epic poetry by a contemporary writer. How the heck could we be the first outfit to discover this guy? Go Josh, go!
COURAGE, by Teel James GlennA spearman’s last thoughts before the battle is joined. Another reminder of why most of us prefer adventures of the mind to adventures in the field.
