In A Time Past
(February 2010)
J. E. Deegan
Cleo and her beloved dog, Joe — or at least their spirits — visited their graves every year, remembering the lives they had led and the events that had ended their brief lives. But this year would be different…
Is There Something in the Attic?
(March 2010)
Belinda Rees
The storm brought a blackout, and something else: something that moved around in the attic, frightening the woman and her two small children. She had to see what it was, and deal with it — that was part of the job of being a mother.
Basilisks and Brian (and a Very Bad First Day)
(March 2010)
Stuart Sharp
Brian Northington had stumbled into a world he had never suspected right in the heart of modern London, a world where magical — and sometimes dangerous — creatures really existed. As new jobs went, dealing with them on behalf of P. Edgeborough and Co. was — interesting.
The Last Concerto
(March 2010)
James A. Andrew
Radcliffe Willows wanted to be a great composer. His work met with indifference at best — until he found a new source of inspiration.
The Tin City Good Deal
(April 2010)
Kurt Heinrich Hyatt
Moondog, wandering scavenger extraordinaire, had a chance to score a sweet handgun and all the ammo he could carry (to say nothing of the girl). All he had to do was steal or scam some food from the 900-foot Tin City tower, with packs of half-feral children doing their best to kill him.
Some Paradigms Don't Shift
(April 2010)
Jerrod Cotosman
Diaz fully expected the must-attend business presentation to be deadly dull and a waste of everybody's time. He was almost right.
A Lifetime of Memories
(May 2010)
Lester Curtis
Paul Beaman took almost everything from Lisa Willet: her money, and the memories that had made her who she was. But with the help of a friend, Lisa would make things right.
Coffee With The Last Man On Earth
(May 2010)
George Potter
Eric's visits were the highlight of Mary Ellen's day. He was young, and charming, and handsome, and that more than made up for his claims of being from a million years in the future.
The Moonshine Monarch and the Elm
(June 2010)
P. F. White
Lucas Black had re-upped to serve in Vietnam three times, until a wound that left him limping had sent him home for good. Now he was home — but home was turning out to be as strange and terrible as anything in the jungle.
My Salieri Complex
(July/August 2010)
Marina Julia Neary
Kemp had grown up sickly, an outcast, but had become a star among the students at University College in Victorian London. Then Griffin arrived, and made him seem almost ordinary — Griffin and his strange, secret project.

Homer and The Goddess
(July/August 2010)
Cary Semar
The poet and storyteller Homer had a few things to learn about the importance of pleasing his audience. For example, dismissing the existence of the Gods was a Very Bad Idea.
Shift / Change
(July/August 2010)
Roland Allnach
The new guy working the night shift at the morgue called himself John Smith. His reasons for being there were a little complicated — and related to the obscene side business run the other employees. *** Contains adult situations ***
Darkhall
(September/October 2010)
McCamy Taylor
A story that spans almost 80,000 years, from a time when the gods of the Hindu pantheon walked the land to the far future when the human race spans the stars… Bridging the two, the not-place called the Darkhall.
Ruta Norte
(September/October 2010)
Jonathan Mascitelli
He was backpacking across the northern regions of Chile, a stranger in a strange land. Then he boarded a bus that seemed to be going further than he ever imagined…
The Tale of the Heavenly Bureaucracy
(September/October 2010)
Stephen Weinstock
The spirit Cta was not conventionally religious in life, so she had no firm idea of what the afterlife might be like. But she never expected a bureaucracy that made the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Passport Office seem downright sensible and efficient comparison.
Father Friday Cemetery
(November 2010)
McCamy Taylor
On the island of Boymere, dark magic is a part of life. The girl, Agatha, had a talent for speaking with the dead, which made her a valuable commodity.
Mel's Tours
(November 2010)
Robert Walton
All Scooter wanted was a car the cops weren't already looking for, so he and Jennifer could get out of town after a botched robbery. Instead, he got shanghaied into helping with one of Mel's tours for adventure-seeking extraterrestrials!
Gone to Abaddon
(December/January 2010-11)
McCamy Taylor
They were creatures of the Summer Lands, never meant to live in the mortal world. But some fell in love with humans, and paid the price.
Jesus of the West
(December/January 2010-11)
Joel Doonan
What if Jesus, the tough, angry Jesus who drove the moneylenders from the Temple, appeared in a tough town in the American West?
Hollywood Squared
(December/January 2010-11)
P. F. White
Ace would do anything for his big break — a starring role in Spade Studios' next blockbuster. Ben, once a star, was just as desperate. In fact, half the town was desperate in one way or another — and prone to spectacular violence. It was Hollywood, after all.
