The Gilded Gazette – July Issue: Wild Thyme & Stranger Things
Welcome, dear reader, to our most enchantingly bizarre issue yet.
July’s edition of The Gilded Gazette is bursting at the seams with spectral laughter, botanical alchemy, experimental dragons, sentient trapdoors, and art that makes you question whether the gallery is haunted—or just the curator.
- Follow a muddy-footed protagonist into the bramble-laced underworld in Andrew Wickham’s unsettling yet lyrical Wild Thyme, Hazel, and Hollyhocks.
- Question the role of evolution in urban magic with Rosie Beech’s Industrial Draconis
- Get swept into chaos with Benjamin Winters’ A Poor Execution—a short story so darkly funny it should come with a gallows warning.
- Explore quiet devastation and heartbreak in the poignant poetry of Plume and Ivan A Salazar M, with verses that walk between dreamscapes and lost love.
- Behold striking artwork from Sonya Janeshewski, @freezedriedchimp, @chrispy_oats, and more—including pieces about defiance, romance, and one mysterious magician who never forgets their coil of rope.
- And of course, The Notice Board is back, with haunted teapots, rogue brooms, emotionally complex dragons, and a Bag of Holding with strong opinions.
💌 Whether you’re here for fairy-things with gnarled wings or tragic tales told with sardonic charm, this issue promises a ride through the uncanny, the whimsical, and the uncomfortably relatable.
