Summer is upon us, and Year Seven of Luna Station Quarterly is in full bloom, with a gathering of rich, vibrant stories to keep you company during the longest days of the year. These are stories about families; the ones we're born into and the ones we make, human and non-human alike. Parents and children and siblings and grandparents and relationships stronger than blood, all filtered through the lenses of fantasy, science fiction and magical realism that have long been a hallmark of Luna Station. So go outside, turn off your devices, and remember to bring this issue with you, for moments of reflection amidst the endless green days to come.

Elegy and promise stand side by side in this, the thirty fourth issue of your favorite Quarterly. Eight talented authors once again give you glimpses of worlds both familiar and alien, moving backwards and forwards in time and space, from Louisiana & Chicago, to a dusty settlement and abandoned house that bring new flavors to our tired notions of the apocalypse. The women and girls in these stories, like the authors that created them, are balancing old and new, grudges and hope, life and death. May we all learn from their journeys, their wisdom, and their folly.
