Featuring new work from writers including Lucie McKnight Hardy, Tom Bullough, Fríða Ísberg and Sadia Pineda Hameed

Time tells us that one story can branch into a great oak of different tales. Folklore, it seems, is tightly woven into our lives, our histories, and the way we understand the world – no matter where we come from. From Welsh chapels in the hills of Mizoram, to ancient stones on Yns Môn. From Icelandic shores to a lakeside in Yr Eryri. Hidden secrets, haunting losses, confessions, obsessions and transformations… Issue 004 spreads its boughs far further than the pages of the Mabinogion.

Telling Tales. It’s what we do.

Folding Rock is a bold magazine, publishing the best short fiction, creative non-fiction and literary criticism from Wales and beyond.
