If that opening paragraph doesn’t grab you then nothing will.
Summer In Paris, Light From the Sky is a beutiful short story from Ken Scholes. I’d never heard of Ken before, but I’ll certainly loo out for more of his writing now.
I’ve been reading a lot of short fiction online recently. The standard of writing appearing in webzines is getting better everyday. The times they are a changin’ in publishing land, thats for sure.
Nice links mate – i’ve just started out in this writing game and i’m looking for fanzines – do you have any more links or ‘zines for wacked out sci-fi absurd comedy/ satire? cheers – oh, i found your blog via the guardian blog page. nice!
Wacked out sci-fi absurd comedy / satire, let me think. For a good listing of SF ‘zines try ‘The Fix’, link below. A couple of my personal favourites are Strange Horizons, Fantasy Magazine and Serendipity.
