The Senior Editor's usual ravings about whatever…


Serialised stories and Long Fiction

Darkness In the Light
Scott Clements
When the mightiest wizard in the world makes a tragic mistake, he is willing to go to any length to correct it. Even if it means returning to the place where only he, of all those who have gone before, has ever escaped.

In the Company of Dwarves
Ralph Benedetto, Jr.
What could be worse than being trapped underground in a cavern stocked with terrors and a deranged lunatic? Being trapped underground with a dwarf. And what could be worse than being trapped underground with a dwarf? Being trapped underground with two dwarves. And what could be worse than…ah, you figure it out.

Short Stories

A Case of Slow
Swanand Arole
By 3001 A.D., all possible Science Fiction concepts have been thoroughly exploited. Nevertheless, Bob Casey keeps on searching for a new idea.

Elysium Suds
McCamy Taylor
Arthur Clarke had "The White Hart;" Dan Hollifield has "The Mare Inebrium." Now McCamy introduces us to a very exclusive bar for dead heroes.

How Holly Lost The Bird
Cary Semar
Holly was like a goddess, flying from star to star, while ordinary mortals fought, sweated, and died on the planets below. Then one day she discovered how big the universe is, and how alone a human being can be.

Hunted
Sharon Partington
He couldn't go on much longer. Another day, maybe two and she would have him. She was playing with him, the way a cat plays with a mouse before she kills it.

Indian Rubber Balls
Robert Starr
Everything we see starts as a thought in someone's mind…a real shame for those of us who can't control the workings of their grey matter.

The Hearts of Men
Scott Clements
No fee is asked for the knowledge taught at the Black School, save one — the last man to leave each class shall give his body and soul for eternal torment…

Be the Cat…
Bill Wolfe
In City of Lights, when Mr. Grym wanted something, he usually got it. Even if he had to wait. Mr Grym hated waiting. He hated waiting almost as much as he hated having his desires thwarted. But something at the Mare Inebrium was proving to be an impediment, so Mr. Grym was not happy.

Came the Dawn
Dan L. Hollifield
A menace as old as time rears its ugly head on Bethdish. City of Lights is threatened and millions of people are in grave danger. Assassins, terrorists, and pirates, oh my! So naturally, the Reever knew the only people who could save the world — would be found having drinks at the Mare Inebrium.The 50th Mare Inebrium story!
