Tales & Feathers Magazine

In these stories, you’re invited to savour the beauty of quiet storytelling. Stay a moment here—in the land of dreams and magic.

Cradle a cup of coffee with a dryad, read the poetry of fireflies, or cook fiery stew with a community of friends and a belly full of flame. Explore the empty spaces between stars, the cool waters of the swamp, and deep warm relationships between friends, family, and lovers.
