Did you know that the plott hound is a real dog breed? Leo the plott hound had inspired the magazine's name.

We are plum pleased with our new bsky banner. The art selected for Issue 06 is particularly wide, and so we had to choose which vertical section to use on the cover. But now, we also have a new, glorious banner image to boot! Thank you, @brucedraws.bsky.social for your wonderful work.

It's the kind of lovely day that would pair well with some good fiction and drinking a glass of water. I can't help you with the latter, but about half of Issue 04 is available to read and has some pretty neat stuff in it. Takes a few minutes and give it a go. plotthoundmag.com/issues/#issu...

Meet Leo, the face behind Plott Hound Magazine. Leo loved camping, sniffing around the woods, and sticking his nose in new places (a skunk's tail, for instance). Our noses are attuned to speculative fiction and poetry, and we're excited to share what we find! www.kickstarter.com/projects/191...
