1. Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #29
Now available: TQF29, seven stories high. Douglas Thompson takes the
lead, with the eerie and poetic "Madame Mortadore & the Clouds".
"Foundling" by Nick Sansone follows a painter through a troubled life
foretold. "Imaginary Prisons" by David Tallerman also has a good deal to
say on the subject of prophecies. John Hall delivers the last of his
forgotten stories to our horror section, "The Feaster from the Stars".
(Its final image is unforgettable.) John Greenwood then lets us have it
three times in the third eye, as Newton Braddell continues to wend his
hopeless way across the world. The review section contains the usual batch
from me, as well as ones by John Greenwood, Rafe McGregor and Steve
Redwood, who consider Morpheus Tales #3, a Hound of the Baskervilles
graphic novel, and Midnight Street #12 respectively.
As usual, you
can download it from our website as a free pdf, buy it as a paperback book
from Lulu, or grab it in a variety of ebook formats from Feedbooks.

Our first book in ages is now out: The Mercury Annual by Michael Wyndham Thomas! Buy it from Lulu, Amazon, etc! PDF review copies available to anyone who can tell us where the review will appear - on a blog, on Goodreads, in a magazine, wherever.

will be out from Eibonvale Press very soon. Not to be missed!
