3LBE Magazine - True in His Fashion by E. Catherine Tobler The ruff was ever my downfall. July and warmer than I liked, crouched in the curling ferns at the side of the road. Mud pressed beneath me, but not even it was cool; it tugged at the knees of my trous...

It is Freddie Mercury's birthday! Come read "True in His Fashion," wherein Mercury has a vampire handle his fashion choices. (They call it fiction, but eh....)

REVIEW: Samhain Sorceries edited by D.M. Ritzlin Samhain Sorceries proves to be a more than satisfying read... The marriage of sword and sorcery with the atmosphere and trappings of Samhain and Halloween is a strong one

The marriage of sword and sorcery with the atmosphere and trappings of Samhain and Halloween is a strong one, and makes this book a compelling read.

Contract returned, I am very pleased to announce that my story "The Great King's Lost Bride," will appear in a future issue of @bcsmagazine.bsky.social It's a tale of classical adventure following a young man in the Sacred Band of Thebes, a sequel to my prior BCS story, "Nemesis and the Sorcerer."

Be damned if I refer to posts as skeets

A poem of mine is out today in Eye to the Telescope's cyberpunk issue. The poem's an ode to the municipal maintenance work I grew up with. It's called Morning; 37°

Contra Amatores Mundi: A Gothic Fantasy by Graham Thomas Wilcox Contra Amatores Mundi is a love story soaked in martial theology and stylistic decadence.

Thank you Matt Holder at Strange Horizons for the lovely review of Contra Amatores Mundi! We hope the novella's strange words and weird prose can excite many of us during this Halloween season :)

I'm currently still open for pieces like this :)

Absolute masterclass from Fehervari here on why it can be better to avoid relying on tabletop names in the books. My head tells me this is probably a Vespid Stingwing, but the sense of vagueness and uncertainty adds so much to this scene.

an early 15th century night sits atop a caparisonned "Horse" which itself is stood in some shallow water. The Knight wears a bascinet and has a shield with his heraldry on (mirrored on tha caparison) the horse's head has been replaced with a shrine of some king where a whithered figure holds a book open, forwards away from the horse, the shrine is surrounded by candles.

I'm in my normal horse era.
