April 19, 2009 Well, nothing like being a little bit late getting this thing back up and running. We got shuffled to a new domain host and thus a new server which really shouldn't affect all of you, other than happening at a time that has caused this issue to be terribly late. Excuses aside, this quarter submissions were sparse. In the end only one truly challenged us, placed us in an extraordinary situation, forced us to speculate. Fantastically, the author of that singular wonderful piece also endeavored to meet our historical fiction/alternate history challenge posed in January. A great thanks goes out to Jim J. Wilsky for gracing us with his words. The theme/challenge for the September issue is an autumn setting that does not include Halloween/Samhain/dia de los muertos/etc. Carnivals, harvest festivals are welcome as are any other general autumn setting. As usual, submissions within the challenge are given special consideration, however all SF/F/H/speculative fiction subjects will be considered. |

Do you know how hard it is to write a review about something about which you are completely indifferent? Read more. December 29, 2008 Rental Recommendation: Pathology I don't know what kept this out of the theaters for two years, but let's prove the production studio wrong and rent or buy every copy we can find, whaddyasay? Read more. August 24, 2008 I have decided that since Death Race takes place in the future in a world that doesn't exist but could possibly that makes it borderline sci-fi and therefore far more worthy of my review than the last two pictures I saw. Read more. July 27, 2008 The X-Files: I Want to Believe When I heard there was going to be a new X-Files movie this summer I asked why, then vowed to see it opening weekend. Read more July 19, 2008 Go because, in the dozen or so years I have been watching his performances, Christian Bale has never failed to impress and go because it's freaking Batman. Read more July 5, 2008 M. Night Shyamalan is back with another creepy feature for our viewing pleasure. Let's face it, The Sixth Sense, at only a PG-13 rating was pretty swell nightmare-fodder, what can the man give us with an R-rating? Read more |
Fiction Jim J. Wilsky - Never Coming Back - How she hates this little God forsaken island. Once she gets off it, she will never visit it or talk of it again. She confirms this with a nod then wipes a second tear away distractedly and runs both hands back through her long gray hair. The wind feathers it out behind her and the scene is reset...
