THWACK! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! THUMP! “OW!” BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! THUD!
What a rude awakening! I stretch languorously and decide I must investigate the cause of that horrible noise; after all, I am the curious type and a noise li...

How to Capture a Ghost by Kyle White @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 19th, 2009 | 01:00 am
Helena Vandermor sneered at the salesclerk. "Apparently, you do not know who I am."
The man's little mustache wiggled. "Yes, madam, I do, but that still doesn't change the situation. There are no ghos...

SpaceWesterns.com, (3 week update)
Nov. 18th, 2009 | 10:50 am
No Child of Mine
Classic stories of the West seem to revel in the vast spaces and the wide open vistas; the very isolation that living on the frontier must bring with it. Filamena Young returns to Mars in a follow-up story to “Mars Ain’t No Place for Ladies”.— ed, N.E. Lilly
Interview with Phil Foglio
Phil Foglio is best known, along with his wife Kaja, for their successful web comic series Girl Genius. Phil is also the creator and artist responsible for Buck Godot. He was kind enough to answer a few questions.— ed, N.E. Lilly
Deuce of Diamonds
“Deuce of Diamonds” is, quite simply, an inter-planetary tale of claim-jumping.— ed, N.E. Lilly

Rehab by Ann K. Schwader @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 18th, 2009 | 01:00 am
The knock comes after midnight. Four silent men in dark hooded sweatshirts carry her in, tip her off the stretcher onto the bed, and leave. Doctor Sam stays behind.
Liz stares down at her client. The young model’s eyes are open but unfocus...

A Twisted Light by Mari Ness @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 17th, 2009 | 01:00 am
I watch you through a pane of dark glass.
It is diamond shaped, this glass, and small: I could hold it in my two hands, were it not set into a wall of grey stones. Eve...

Rich Man, Poe Man by Adrian Ludens @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 16th, 2009 | 01:00 am
Will you say that I am mad?
Inordinately sensitive perhaps.
Despairing? At times.
But mad? I deny the accusation.
Inside my chest beats the heart of a romantic.
I laugh, I cry, I love with reckless abandon.
I am...

Wine and Bread by Jeff R Hall @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 15th, 2009 | 01:00 am
Bob longed for death, and freedom from wine and bread.
He slurped down few more gulps before falling back onto the couch. The half-empty wine bottle rolled out of his hand and fell to the floor where it lay chugging its contents out in a growing...

Darkness Within by Ash Krafton @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 14th, 2009 | 01:00 am
She waved at the approaching headlights as if she signaled a plane, her hands sweeping wide, desperate arcs. When the car slowed she lunged, throwing herself against the fender as if to prevent its escape.
Still sobbing, partly now in relief, sh...

The Return of Granny Gumption by C.J. Henderson @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 13th, 2009 | 01:00 am
There had seemed to be no hope. When they had first found her on the floor, beaten, pummulted, and jumped up and down on—shattered to within an inch of her life—the small but proud world of Tindenford had hung on the edge of its collective s...

Granny Gumption Solves a Murder by C.J. Henderson @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 12th, 2009 | 01:00 am
Granny Gumption sat quietly, composing her notes on the frontboard of the Townshend Goddard breakfront secretary. Gumption, of course, was not her real name, nor was she anyone’s grandmother. But the name given to her by a whimsical newsman so man...

It Kindly Stopped For Me by Kelly M. Barnhill @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 10th, 2009 | 01:00 am
When it came down to it, death was motherfucking easy. No rage, no fight, no attempts to bite death in its goddamned throat, chew on its ashy veins. Other folks, maybe, but not me. I just stepped into the street. The asphalt was hot and soft. The heat r...

Head Stands by Conda V. Douglas @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 8th, 2009 | 01:00 am

Destructive Testing by William R. Wood @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 7th, 2009 | 01:00 am
Mary used a stainless rod to nudge the severed hand an inch closer to the wrist stump. Seconds passed before the fingers finally twitched and tendrils snaked across the gap. They inserted into the arm like angry wasps implanting their stingers and tugge...

Ten Easy Steps by Polenth Blake @ Everyday Weirdness
Nov. 6th, 2009 | 01:00 am
The first sign of trouble was the aroma of burnt flowers. My roommate had tried to hide it by closing his door, but the scent was finding a way through the cracks.
“Pete, what’s that smell?” I called through the door.
