Black Dandy #3

Black Dandy is a literary journal dedicated to excellence in magic realism, surrealism, and the otherwise strange. Based in New Zealand, we're proud to feature top talent from around the world. Our third issue features 10 stories from today's most compelling writers. A crazed entrepreneur introduces his reluctant paramour into the Church, where she discovers a peculiar form of motherhood. A materialistic city boy comes face to face with his fears while boar hunting in rural Florida. In a world very much like our own, a caregiver steeped in the secret power of names discovers how "naming" comes full circle. A young man fresh out of a relationship discovers how difficult it is to be rid of his ex. Being a ghost isn't all that bad, and it's not what most people think. A military pilot caught up in war tensions discovers that there are higher powers at work, and sacrifices to be made for the good of mankind. An ordinary man discovers that his version of marriage and fatherhood doesn't feel like everyone else's. In a country that's not his own, a troubled man grapples with the elusive local who steals his beloved guitar. The story of some people is one of the road to great things, even if that means great harm to society. A compassionate dog and his anachronistic family prove that oddity comes in all shapes and with unexpected outcomes.
