Free SF/F/H Fiction for 10/18/2012

Another pile of free fiction links, several of them courtesy of QuasarDragon. Don’t worry, however, as those links have been thoroughly deloused before posting here on SF Signal. Thanks also go out to OM.

What’s special about today’s free fiction?

1. Perihelion Science Fiction is launching its version 2.0 after a 43-year hiatus. All of the sudden the NHL lockout doesn’t seem like such a long slog.
2. Three-Lobed Burning Eye is back and ready for eyeballs. See what I did there?
3. Another story from my upcoming and award-unrelated contemporary fantasy collection, Catholic Guilt and the Joy of Hating Men: The Ocean Goddess and The Home Run Queen
