Author Description

As the wheel turns and the line of lanterns extends to eternity, Underland Arcana continues to celebrate the four aspects of the eternal spark: the numinous, the esoteric, the supernatural, and the weird. These are the stories we tell in the twilight. These are the ways we greet the dawn. These are the lies we tell about the monsters in our hearts. These are the ways we ward against the chill touch of despair. Cup, shield, sword, and stick: these continue to be our tools. This is the iconography of the Arcana. Here is the third deck, filled with thirty stories celebrating the diversity of our experiences, with contributions from Fayaway & Hermester Barrington, Warren Benedetto, David Bradley, Matthew Cheney, Daniel Dagris, Phillip E. Dixon, Sarina Dorie, Daniel David Froid, H. L. Fullerton, J. V. Gachs, Ingrid Garcia, Elad Haber, J. Anthony Hartley, Christopher Hawkins, A. P. Howell, Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito, K. Wallace King, John Klima, Michelle Knudsen, Erik Kollmer, Reggie Kwok, Jon Lasser, Gerri Leen, Mark Mills, Kiya Nicoll, J. O. Oakes, Roni Stinger, Jason Washer, Eric Witchey, and Jennifer Worrell.
