TRUNK: stories that took the long way

Available 1 August! TRUNK: stories that took the long way "Not all those who wander are lost," as Tolkien famously said. Sometimes they're just taking the scenic route. Here are 20 great science fiction and fantasy stories that took the long way to success. Each of these stories met with initial rejection before finding a home here. Publishing is a weird alchemy of mood, taste, and happenstance, and it takes tenacity to find just the right combination to let a story shine as it should.

Trollbreath Magazine@trollbreathmag.bsky.social · 5d ago

Welcome to August! Only one month to go until our 9th issue drops. Edits will be going out to authors soon (probably today). In the meantime, we can finally reveal the absolutely gorgeous cover, slightly revamped from our previous style, with original art by Tobias Roetsch. Ain't it beautiful?

Cover for issue #9 of Trollbreath Magazine. The original art is by Tobias Roetsch, showing a shuttle rising through clouds, dragging them along in it's wake, while in the sky above there is a planet with several moons. The colors are similar to a sunrise, with lots of oranges. The top text says Trollbreath Magazine, Issue 9, Fall 2026. At the bottom are the list of authors, and the editors.

I've got a piece in this anthology! About faith and facing uncertainty... and about pirates, retired warlords, and priestess-magi of the ocean's sunken treasures. The story's long road includes time as a Writers of the Future finalist - until I withdrew when I learned about their shenanigans.

A beloved, rather Twilight Zone-y story of mine, "Please Come Again," is available for pre-order now as part of this awesome anthology of stories that "almost didn't make it." I'm excited to read the whole book! Available from bookshop and amazon.

Day 114! I read Heard by Elise Forier Edie published in @metaphorosis.com. Just once, can we please stop and think if we should? Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/s...

S/D/Y Apr 24 – Heard by Elise Forier Edie – Metaphorosis

Ah, scientific hubris. Is there anything worse? You know, I’m something of a scientist myself, or I used to be at least, so I can tell you. No, there is nothing worse. Well, maybe that’…

We're grateful today to Andrew Dana Hudson for these generous words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. “Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing ... An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!” What are you grateful for this first Monday of spring?

“Thoughtful and funny, tender and bracing, these stories (and comics!) weave together into a potent vision of the crises we face and the strange and beautiful futures we might build on the other side. An essential text for any solarpunk’s bookshelf!” Andrew Dana Hudson, author of Our Shared Storm: A Novel of Five Climate Futures and Absence
