Step into this House with us. Warm your hands on the fire. We’ve been waiting for you for so long.

We hope you’ll join us in stepping into a new fairytale. Welcome to the clearing—to the wildness—to The Family.

Thank goodness for art & thank goodness for you.

Here’s to the ugly & the marvellous, loud enough to reach the edge of night.

Issue VIII will sing to the theme of sforzando (the car-struck bolt of dissonance; the backslide into wreckage; the single note of shattering).

From the Editor: the Aubade Issue

My first memory is the most beautiful song I ever heard. An act of peace. An intake of breath. A space suffused with hymn.

The aubade reading period was one of our busiest yet, with hundreds of submissions reimagining dawn in tender, intricate ways.

Preorders Are Open for Issue VII: Aubade

This new aubade issue speaks loud & clear of hope—& it does so with every knowledge of death as an old friend.

Light & light & light to you. We hope this book is exactly what you need right now—that would be the greatest honour imaginable.

Welcome in the New Year with the Half Mystic team in style with our latest gathering, a launch of Issue VI: Interlude!
