by icouldbesplendid
It was quiet here amongst the trees, quiet and still and peaceful. The leaves fell, the birds sang, the new shoots sprouted green. Long had she lain here and long would she remain, slowly becoming one with the nature around her. It had not always been so: once she had lived in the bustling metropoli ...

“Microcosmos” by Nina Allan
19 hours ago
by Niall
From Martin Lewis’ review: “It focuses on failed, grudging and inexplicable relationships. It takes a keen interest in geography … Observations … are often precise and clinical … Above all it is a story that suggests rather than insists … fantastic elements are extremely muted.” All spot-on. “Microc ...

by Laura Anne Gilman
Woke up this morning convinced that it was Saturday. Been staring at the computer, screen, willing the words to come, and my brain is all "nope, this was the weekend you said you were going to take off, so we're off."

Clive Barker Assures Us That 'Black is the Devil's Rainbow'
22 hours ago
by Mike Bracken
For some odd reason, we don't cover a lot of horror fiction here at Horror Squad but occasionally an announcement comes along that's so gigantic that we all have to put down our DVDs and videogames and actually think about picking up a book.

Tryouts for My Housewife
1 day ago
by Priscilla G. Robinson
So, I’ve been watching all of these old timey traditional Christmas movies and the such. And, I thought to myself… ‘Damn! I need a housewife!’ The actresses did a splendid job portraying the 50’s housewife, so well, in fact that I actually took up baking for one afternoon. (Does Kahlua Brownies coun ...
