Issue 9 of Underland Arcana arrives with the first breath of spring. The first thaw, perhaps. Definitely in time for that first kiss—that first blush of awareness.

This issue contains stories by Fayaway & Hermester Barrington, Daniel David Froid, David Bradley, Jason Washer, Roni Stinger, J. P. Oakes, A. P. Howell, Eric Witchey, Kiya Nicoll, and Erik Kollmer. Stories about what we hold on to after love leaves us, stories about who we wished we could be, stories about the terrible things that haunt us, and stories about the way the rest of the world is haunted. This issue is the one where we reveal the mask beneath the face we were wearing last year. Don't be surprised. We're still the same on the inside.
