Serialised stories and Long Fiction

Short Stories

Jeremy Kuban
You probably don't want to know what it feels like to have only a short time to live, but if you do, read this horrific tour de force Jeremy Kuban.

M. Comes in From the Night
McCamy Taylor
During the war, Manuela ran a diner that sat next to a lonely highway in New Mexico. One night a stranger came in who spoke with a slight German accent.

Mage Mouse
McCamy Taylor
The editors are pleased to present this narrative, penned the renowned criminologist, Inspector Silverdeen of the Avalon City Police. Silverdeen is better known as the White Wolf, an epithet that is used friends and foes alike. Though his pedigree is one hundred percent elf, he has a knack for sniffing out the truth that would make a bloodhound green with envy. He also possesses a keen mind and a pair of fists that could level an ox. Out of respect for the latter, the editors have refrained from making corrections to the text.

Night Bite
Frank Dunsmore
Detective Schmidt is not superstitious but as he follows the trail of lovely dead women with puncture marks on their throats from the Chicago Subway to the Adler Planetarium, he begins to wonder if a vampire might have done it.

Sleepy-head
Steve Bomkamp
Ronnie had an imagination so vivid that he was able to escape the unpleasantness of life hiding in his own hallucinations, until one day there came an intruder that could follow him even into his dreams.

The Barbarian Chieftain
Peter Bergman, Jr.
A writer's challenge 2 story.

Without a Trace
Stenger White
You probably don't remember Eva Connelly, but if you were in Tucson around 1991 you may have seen the newspaper articles about a University of Arizona student who disappeared.
