Wyldblood 16

Seven great new science fiction and fantasy stories from established writers and rising stars. Our longest story this time is from Jacey Bedford, with her Song of Unmaking - a superpowers tale with tragic consequences. We've got a rare SF story from successful crime novelist Steve Burford - The Art of War - delving between the blurred lines of what's real and what isn't. Mark Rigney's Boggle Dog and Blue Cat gives us more robot-based SF. Liam Hogan gives us another excellent story - Two Percent - all about black holes and the prospects of surviving one. We also have a new tale from Holley Cornetto; Maiden of the Rock is a fantasy story (yes, mermaids) and continues our tradition of thoughtful tales that challenge your assumptions. Cardiff writer JL George gives us Coblyn, an unsettling fantasy horror and M Luke McDonell's The Obscurists rounds out our collection, a character-based sci-fi portal story with plenty of action. Our strongest collection yet - all new excellence that will linger long in the memory.
