"Three Days and Nights in Lord Darkdrake's Hall", what was once known as The Evil Story (tm)*, is live in this week's issue of Strange Horizons.

Read! Discuss! Enjoy!


*It gave me a lot of grief to write, once upon a time.
...and the first acceptance of the year: "A Thousand", aka the Crane Wife Story, will appear in Japanese Dreams, an anthology of Japanese-themed specfic. Wherein I will hopefully not embarrass myself. *g*

It has a pretty cover.

Out in May!
Okay, even if it is run by the Office of Justice?

I am not allowed to call the local courthouse the Hall of Justice.

Just...not. *g*
