Firewords 8 offers you the chance to escape the daily grind with some literary respite.

Join figures of the past and future as they grapple with their own vivid reality and dive into the unknown. Wander with those lost souls trapped in the present who are desperately searching for somewhere to go. Ideas of escape are universal and, ironically, inescapable.

As always, some of the stories are fantastical, some are steeped in harsh reality, but all are ultimately uplifting. This message is enhanced by the powerful work of talented artists from around the world.

Firewords is the magazine of fiery fiction & poetry brought to life with visual flair.
