" . . . This unique and professionally produced book will become a respected and important part of the literary world."
--Kealan Patrick Burke, author of Ravenous Ghosts
"Just received Wicked Hollow #9 this week, and it's another winner. This must be one of the strongest all-around issues to date - not a weak story in the entire mix. For me, Simon Strantzas's 'The Autumnal City' is the top pick, but the fiction from Richard Lynch and Thomas Kearnes is great as well. There was a bit of a delay between issues 8 and 9, but the wait was worth it for content this good!"
-- Jeff Hall, Subscriber, Seattle, WA |
Fiction:
"Descended," by Richard Lynch
It’s true, you know: Boston cobblestone can be so cold... So, this is where we come to find the ones we want – one at a time.
"The Autumnal City," by Simon Strantzas
The autumnal city is a sprawling maze of filthy stone and asphalt. We march like automatons along its stretches of sidewalks, toward towers of brick and glass that scrape murky burnt amber from the sky.
"The Timekeeper's Apprentice," by Paul Stevenson
I suppose I should feel angry, bitter at least, but perhaps I am beyond that now, as I am beyond so many things.
"Nurse," by Thomas Kearnes
When you learn your fate, it frees you to notice connections and likelihoods others never would.
"The Wish Man and the Worm," by J.M. Heluk
"Make a wish," she said, and as the man closed his ancient fingers around the fluffy airborne seed, he did.
Poetry:
"Music Lesions (A Duet)," by Mike Allen
Cacophony crescendos
"Under Aquarius," by Sonya Taaffe
this water tastes of silence, solitude
"The Gathering of Ruins," by E.R. Carlin
I have built a ship from my bark and flesh
"Should I Miss Her Now in Winter?" by Russell Bittner
and her sea could only wave in cold abandon
"Beautiful Sins, Burning Husks," by Kristine Ong Muslim
Growing viral wings between our dying faces
"The Holes Left Behind," by CW Sabetelli
climbed down into the ocean from the sky
