Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 2/12/2013

Wow.

I am shocked. When I published Book One of my post-apocalyptic series, I expected a few sales here and there. But thanks to the support of SF Signal readers, redditors, and people just willing to give something new a chance, After The Fires Went Out: Coyote actually made it to the top 250 paid books on Amazon.com!

I am so very grateful to everyone who have bought the book, read the sample, clicked on the excerpt… thank you very much!

What’s special about today’s free fiction?

1. Strange Horizons has coughed up some Lavie Tidhar in written and audio.
2. Toasted Cake has some audio steampunk by Shira Lipkin
3. There’s a Wool/Silo story that’s not from Hugh Howey… and it’s free
4. A new online magazine has been born: Fever Dreams E-Zine
