- Download our stuff for your Kindle!
- Theaker's Paperback Library!
This issue of Theaker's Quarterly Fiction has one of our best ever
covers, courtesy of the marvellous John Shanks. It shows the three kings
doing battle with a demon on their way to Bethlehem. Eric Lowther tells
the story in "We Three Kings".
In the last of our series of
stories by Richard K. Lyon & Andrew J. Offutt, Tiana pays a visit to
the "Inn of the White Cat". In John Greenwood's series that never ends,
Newton Braddell researches "The Cruellest Month". And then John Hall tells
the chilling story of "The Burrower Beneath". And in the last quarter of
the issue we have reviews of the latest from PS Publishing, among others.
It's a rather shorter issue than usual (we had to hold some
material over to next time), but it's a very nice one. The editorial is a
bit rubbish - I'm still working through my feelings about losing at
NaNoWriMo, so you'll have to bear with me - but if you skip that bit
you'll have a great time with Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #26.

This week I made issues twenty-four to twenty-six of TQF available on
Feedbooks. Feedbooks is a great source of free reading material for ebook
readers of all kinds. There are three strands to the site: "newspapers"
collated from RSS feeds, which can be synchronised to your reading device;
out-of-copyright books; and user-created material (like our magazine).
The most impressive thing is that once content creators have
uploaded the material, Feedbooks outputs it in whatever format the user
asks for, so you can get it in appropriate formats for your Sony Reader,
Kindle, Iliad or even some mobile phones. If like us you're still using
your Rocket eBook, you can use their downloads, but there are a few extra
steps - I'll post instructions on our website shortly.
Even if you
just read TQF onscreen, it's worth a look: one of their formats is a very
handily structured pdf which is much easier to navigate than the ones
available on our website. You miss out on the art and the marvellous
typesetting, but you can't have everything!

Exciting news: we're going to start publishing the occasional book
again in the new year, beginning with Michael Wyndham Thomas's The Mercury
Annual. No further details yet, but when there are they'll appear on the
page linked below.
