Free Fiction at Subterranean Press
Today, in the penultimate chapter of Elizabeth Bear’s Lucifugous, the murderers aboard the zeppeling Hans Glucker are finally unmasked. Look for the long novella that opens her mosaic novel, New Amsterdam, to wrap up in fine form tomorrow.
In inventory, appearing soon, we have a 27,000 word original novella, “Vacancy” by Lucius Shepard, another novella, “Saturday Night at Eddie’s” by Kealan Patrick Burke, plus short fiction by R. Andrew Heidel, Joe R. Lansdale, and John Scalzi. All of it will appear FREE on the SubPress site over the next few months, along with book reviews by Dorman Shindler, and columns by Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, and Norman Partridge.
As we near issue 8 for Subterranean magazine, the last print issue, we’ll be gearing up the content on our site to take its place, all of it for FREE. Keep your eyes peeled for all of the above and more over the next few months.
While we’re at it, don’t forget Cherie Priest’s novella from Dreadful Skin. The Wreck of the Mary Byrd, the 25,000 word novella that opens the novel, is a definite treasure, old penny dreadful style entertainment, with some modern sensibilities mixed in.
