New Australian “Bunny” Hops to Accept Cyclops

So it isn’t the money, but a combination of name — THE STYGIAN LEPUS — and a very new magazine, electronic with print edition to follow, and just a bit exotic perhaps as an Australian publication. No harm in perhaps gaining a few new readers.

And anyway the story I sent Wednesday, July 26, would be a reprint and is very short, at only about 700 words and originally published in the first DARK MOON DIGEST YOUNG ADULT HORROR in 2013. A perhaps . . . unusual . . . story called “The Cyclops,” about a baby born with cyclopia, with only one eye among other problems, but almost preternaturally intelligent. And how he begins to learn what he is through other family members’ reactions.

The kind of thing that’s not all that artistic in terms of fine literature, but that I think maybe — and I’m not that sure — might be kind of important.

So anyway DARK MOON DIGEST had seemed to agree, and today, Sunday the 30th, THE STYGIAN LEPUS seems to think so too: We’re delighted to let you know “The Cyclops“ has been selected for publication in the July 2023 edition.

Please complete the contract here . . . and we’ll let you know when the online edition is live, and when the print edition is available to purchase.

So signed and sent — their motto: “our bunny leans to the dark side” which may add a little excitement as well. More to come when known.
