What’s special about today’s free fiction?

1. Gollancz has a short story from Nathan Hawke set in the Gallow world, the same place you’ll find his novel, The Crimson Shield
2. PodCastle has a bit of a departure from the usual stuff, with a Robert E. Howard Conan Novella from 1922
3. I’ve finally figured out how to track down Mur Lafferty‘s ongoing podcasts (yes, I’m new to the Internet) from her wonderful Contemporary Fantasy novel, The Shambling Guide to New York City
