Some more free fiction and audio fiction today. Including highlighted free fiction, the SF story "Face Value" (from which today's illustration comes) and the fantasy story "The Wishwriter's Wife" Keeping the even split between fantasy and SF, Dunesteef has a new audio SF story and PodCastle has new audio fantasy story.Unfortunately, I have to report some very sad news. Lovecraft eZine has folded after just five issues due to the editor's health problems. This is a loss to the entire SF/Horror community, both readers and writers.
@Lightspeed: "Face Value" by Karen Joy Fowler. Science Fiction.
"When they had their backs to him he could see the symmetrical arrangement of dark spots which marked their wings in a pattern resembling a human face. A very sad face, very distinct."@Daily Science Fiction: "The Wishwriter's Wife" by Ian McHugh. Fantasy.
"In the days when fairies were still to be found in the world, and wishes could come true, there lived a wishwriter and his wife. The wishwriter was a clever man, but plain, and born with a twisted back that made him stoop."@Electric Velocipede: "The Chiaroscurist" by Hal Duncan.
@Free eBooks Daily: "Fluffs" by Daniel I. Russell. Horror.
@Pixel of Ink:The Gift of Fury by Richard Jackson. Urban Fantasy. [Kindle]
@Smashwords: The White Shadow Saga: The Stolen Moon of Londor by A.P. Stephens. Epic Fantasy [via Pixel of Ink]
@Dunesteef: "Must Have Own Weapons" by Edward McKeown. Science Fiction."At that moment, with gun in hand, he sees a rather unusual want ad. The only caveat? Whoever responds to this ad must be able to bring their own weapons. Well, at least Dan can fill that part of the ad, right?"@PodCastle: "Portage" by An Owomoyela, read by Elizabeth Green Musselman. Fantasy.
"When it came time to carry her father’s soul down from the mountain, she had nothing to carry it in. The bowl her mother had carved from heirloom ivory, fit together like a puzzle mosaic and watertight without needing glue, had been shattered just that morning in an argument with the father’s retainer."
