Prompted Issue #03

The third issue of Prompted blends realism with the uncanny and magical. Dive into its thirteen stories, which were guest edited by Martha Sprackland (founding editor of independent publishing house Offord Road Books and of the multilingual arts zine La Errante), and journey through graveyards, stormy seas, a labyrinthine library with ever-shifting shelves, and action-packed streets where characters face unforeseen dangers. With its diverse voices and imaginative narratives, this collection is bound to captivate and inspire!
