Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 5/21/2013
So here’s something a little different THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT. There’s a new concept coming to a cell phone near you (either in your pocket, or if you’re unlucky, drowning in the toilet bowl). It’s called Clandestine: Anomaly, and it will change mobile gaming (and your life) forever, but only if it gets enough backers by Thursday, June 6th. Pledge now for a chance to be a beta tester or just to support people who, if they become rich and famous, may make ME rich and famous, too.
