Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 4/13/2013

Well, that’s it for me for this week. I’ll see you on Tuesday… now if I don’t see you, I’ll assume it’s because you’ve figured out how to disable that always-on webcam that came with your computer. (YES, I saw what you did this week, and YES, you should be ashamed.)

What’s special about today’s free fiction?

1. A. Lee Martinez posts a short story involving Mack Megaton and robotic dinosaurs. You know you’re going to read it.
2. Pseudopod has an uneasy tale from Christine Brooke-Rose
3. See if you can spot today’s Free eBooks trend (hint: “here… just a taste… the first hit’s free”)
