Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 5/23/2013
Another glorious raid on the QuasarDragon. The not-so-brave Captain Tackett wept mightily as we swept away his audiobook booty.
What’s special about today’s free fiction?
- Nightmare has a story from Neil Gaiman
- Tor has a story from Kai Ashante Wilson
- Silvia Moreno-Garcia has posted Chapter Two from her upcoming (and currently crowdfunding) novel Young Blood. She’s had to put up with me at a convention panel so she could really use your sympathy and support.

As someone who travels around an “alternative lifestyle” universe, the title Scat has a whole other meaning which is a lot funnier.
