The Spellcaster by Ed Ahern – supercomputers and AI have begun to infiltrate the magical sphere. A wizard begins to use a robot to incant spells… what could possibly go wrong?
Implications for Modern Life by Bob McAfee – a surreal poem about a hibernating man, a woman who runs away and a soldier who longs for early spring.
The Rejuvenations of Firelock Chomes by Mark Reasoner – our pun-dropping, wisecracking consulting detective is at his usual tricks again… thankfully, the gun is out for repairs. Contains the answers to the meaning of life. Well, almost.
Jones Has Some Bug Up His Ass by Marc J Guillotte – a surreal horror-romantic-comedy involving a gruesome weight-loss method, emotional numbness, snogging, and blue moths. Because why not?
