THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY
In the early 1900s, a young woman searches for her missing father, her place in the world, and the mystery behind a magical door.
There are ten thousand stories about ten thousand doors... here is one of them.
In the summer of 1901 seven-year-old January Scaller found a Door. You know the kind of door - they lead to Faerie, to Valhalla, to Atlantis, to all the places never found on a map.
That summer, January is ordered to forget her door. There are no dreams. There is no elsewhere. She and the world are perfectly ordinary.
January tries her best to be a proper young lady, one that certainly doesn't ask questions. There are limits when you're the mixed-race daughter of a long-gone mother and adventurer father.
But then her father goes missing, presumed lost on one of his many searches for priceless artifacts. All January has left is a book-a scuffed-up leather-bound book that might explain everything: her father's disappearance, the secret magic of the forgotten Doors... and the unseen forces that have started hunting her.
Alix E. Harrow is a part-time historian with a full-time desk job, a lot of opinions, and excessive library fines. Her short fiction has appeared in Shimmer, Strange Horizons, Tor.com, Apex, and other venues. She and her husband live in Kentucky under the cheerful tyranny of their kids and pets.
