Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #23 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2911 en 2008 TQF#23 has science fiction from Wayne Summers and John Greenwood, fantasy from Richard K. Lyon & Andrew J. Offutt, horror from Anna M. Lowther and John Hall, and reviews galore. Altogether, there are 52,534 words of free reading material in this magazine (but no one will blame you for skipping the 4,394-word editorial). science fiction fantasy magazine horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2911.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2911.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2911.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2911.mobi Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #16 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2936 en 2007 This issue’s brilliant cover by John Shanks has doubtless alerted you to the main content of this issue: Howard Phillips relates to us The Doom That Came to Sea Base Delta! Then Lawrence Dagstine tells of “Our Plight on Amaros”, in a high concept tale of human despair on an alien world. This issue also brings the next part of After All, by Michael Wyndham Thomas. Wash that down with another sip of Newton Braddell, and then you'll be ready for another Lost Classic of the Silver Age, a tale of one Cleabella Danger, with thanks to the plucky fellow who rescued her book from a space pirate! And dropped into the mix at the very last minute, an extract from the novel-in-progress, Chameleon Man Gets Lost, by Caroline Marwitz: “The Good Fortune Driving School for Men”. science fiction fantasy magazine horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2936.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2936.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2936.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2936.mobi Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #22 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2910 en 2008 TQF#22 offers, from Mike Schultheiss, "Darwin's Corridor", a rousing tale of action, colonialism, love, anthropology and philosophy on a far-off planet. Then we have “The Spirits of ’26”, by Robert Laughlin, a Silverberg-esque story of ambition, dedication and calamity. Sam Leng returns to our pages with “A Matter of Taste”, another short, sharp tap on the shoulder, and Richard K. Lyon and Andrew J. Offutt supply another in their series of Tiana adventures. In my editorial I take a trip down memory lane, it having been ten years since I started to use the name Silver Age Books, while at the other end of the issue John Greenwood describes the next events in the unfortunate life of Newton Braddell, researcher unextraordinary. In total, 44,409 words of free fantasy goodness... science fiction fantasy magazine horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2910.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2910.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2910.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2910.mobi Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #26 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2684 en 2008 TQF#26 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 R. 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 experiences "The Cruellest Month". And then John Hall tells the chilling story of "The Burrower Beneath". 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 TQF#26. science fiction fantasy magazine horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2684.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2684.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2684.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2684.mobi Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #27 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2768 en 2009 TQF27 presents a marvellous novel in full: Operation 1848 by Mike Schultheiss! Plus two short stories: "Orchid Strangelove and the Kiss of the Taipan" by Sam Leng and "Lost Futures" by Cyril Simsa.

That's followed by the next riveting instalment of Newton Braddell and a short-short from Josie Gowler, "Soldier", before things get rather literary with the double-barrelled strangeness of "Breaking Out of Sleep" and "Anatomy of a Wounded House", from Barry Pomeroy and Douglas Thompson respectively. Then John Hall wonders whether you dare descend "The Stairs in the Crypt", and Jason Hinchcliffe tells the saga of the "Bloodbegotten". fantasy magazine fiction science horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5264.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5264.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5264.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5264.mobi Theaker's Quarterly Fiction #29 Silver Age Books http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5922 en 2009 Here is 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 wends 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. fantasy magazine SF horror tqf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5922.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5922.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5922.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/5922.mobi Union of Renegades: The Rys Chronicles Book I Tracy Falbe http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1954 en 2006 Dreibrand Veta has killed for his country. At the frontlines of imperial expansion, he seeks to rebuild the fortune of his noble family. In his daring travels he encounters the rys, a race far more powerful than the human empire that bred him. Dreibrand cannot defy the rys Queen Onja nor defend his companion, Miranda, and her children from the wicked tyrant Queen. Desperate for help, Dreibrand and Miranda join Shan, a rys with emerging powers who plans to challenge Onja. In Shan’s pursuit of the rys throne, he exerts his magical powers, gathers his allies, and incites rebellion among Onja’s human subjects. Great wealth and power will reward the kings, warriors, and spies that align themselves with the rys pretender, but defeat could mean worse than death. Onja can imprison souls and her genocidal rage is legendary. Everything is at risk for Shan’s union of renegades. fantasy http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1954.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1954.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1954.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1954.mobi How To Disappear Completely David Bowick http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3115 en 2009 www.bowick.net/books/ Sitting at the top of a Ferris wheel overlooking the Boston skyline, Josh’s life takes an unexpected turn, and things will never be the same.

Their meddling in Revolutionary Times, at Custer's Last Stand, the Alamo, Woodstock, as well as a detour to 1st century Jerusalem to kidnap Jesus--or Judas--leads to catastrophic consequences for those living in modern times. Among the things Warble and his gang perpetrate are: 1. The origin of Preemptive Strikes (umpires calling strikes before the ball is thrown) 2. George Washington being banished to England for inventing the peanut (and thus being responsible for "Peanut Envy") 3. Changing song lyrics and altering drugs at Woodstock to change the politics and personalities of the hippies there 4. "Helping out" at the Alamo, so that it's the Mexicans who ultimately get "saddled" with Texas. These are just a few of the hilarious shenanigans that culminate in a climactic scene as the protagonists return to the present and see what their changes have wrought. science fiction Satire dystopia time travel social commentary http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3631.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3631.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3631.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3631.mobi Last Will Alwyne Ashweth http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/6416 en 2009 Strange Circle Short Fiction: A strange tale in a Lovecraftian style. horror short fiction http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/6416.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/6416.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/6416.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/6416.mobi The Great Voyeur: observations on my sexual history MC Radiance http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/752 en 2008 Anecdotes from an unusual sex life, reaching back to first memories, and interwoven with a secret life as a voyeur... and many lessons learned along the way.
