The Stories We Tell 
 This issue is full of stories about stories, and how those stories can help us understand, grow, and change.

New Roads - 2018 is going to be a time of change for CICADA. In the new year, we will be going completely digital. Change can be scary. But without change, there can be no rejuvenation, reinvention, or innovation. With that in mind, join us on our exciting journey into the 21st century!

Hauntings — Welcome, dear readers, to our Hauntings issue. Read on for rattling chains, flickers of movement in your peripheral vision, disembodied whispers, and the sound of footsteps in rooms that should be empty.

Defiance
This issue is a tribute to defiance in all forms, and to those who find the courage to resist the status quo.

Green & Growing Things 
In this issue we’re celebrating green and growing things—new leaves, new beginnings, and unsettlingly sentient plants.

The Deep
In this issue, we explore The Deep—dark ocean trenches, the far reaches of outer space, and the hidden corners of the human heart.

Duality 
This issue is all about duality—soul mates, doppelgängers, and all things that come in twos.

This issue is all about being in a state of flux—a strange in-between place where everything can change at any moment.

Visions of the Future
From faraway planets to homework in the time of aliens, our July/August issue explores futures distant and not-so-distant.  

What We Own, What We Wear
This issue deals with objects we own, the fashion we choose, and the way both can express identity.

This wyrd & witchy issue is rife with magicks, moons, familiars, the domestic, the supernatural, and the perilous femme. 

 This issue is all about risks, inflection points, moments of truth, and the way things change in the aftermath. 

Boo! This issue is full of séances, summonings, and old-timey scientists investigating the spirit world.

Mutiny is an inflection point. Where there’s an order of things, that order can chafe. And it can crack.

Tales of plague, blizzard, overlord apes, and survivors with the moxie to crush it in disaster’s aftermath.

A crush is an itch. An impulse. Flirt and you open a door. And there's no knowing what will happen next. Cicada Cencus : The Cicada collective consciousness , Davis the disappoinment lab tech by Clarice Monet.and much more...

Tricksters, thieves, glamour, and finding the true self in a world of illusions.
