Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 5/29/2013
Because six posts a week of free fiction links isn’t enough to keep me from working on my writing, I’ve started a new “Writing Wroundup” link post at my website. It’s meant to complement these Free Fiction posts and the world-renowned SF/F/H Link Posts, for speculative fiction writers.
What’s special about today’s free fiction?
- Lightspeed has a science fiction story from Maureen F. McHugh
- 19 Nocturne Boulevard has the first episode of Atomic Julie’s Bedtime Stories
- Angry Robot has an excerpt from Chuck Wendig‘s latest, The Blue Blazes (which is already winging its way to my house)
