The Farmer brushes their thumb across the blade and deems it sharp enough. Back on the ground, amongst the crop, the soft metal reflects a ghostly blue. Ghosts are always blue, aren’t they? In the same way that the plague is black and the whale is white and the Scythe is long and looming. Some type of truth that is not a reality.
“The Scythe and Other Simple Mechanisms,” T.E.Z. Moore

About The Deadlands
The Deadlands is a quarterly speculative fiction magazine. We publish short stories, poems, and essays about the other realms, of the ends we face here, and the beginnings we find elsewhere. It is an adventure into the unknown, to meet those who live there still, even though they may be dead. Death is a journey we all will take, but we’d like to peek at the map before we go.
