 Ashes of an Empty Hearth: Tales in the Realm of Hua Hsia

by Hanson Wong

 

Road rats deprived of ancestral flames or family hearths. Can they survive conscription into a royal army and learn to be slayers?

Chariot crumbs. That’s how the novel she ren and their retainers shu ren look upon someone like Stone, born outside these prescribed ranks in the realm of Hua Hsia and not protected by any family lineage.

Stone swears that he will never let anyone trained by him end up as “chariot crumb”, bodies trampled under chariots driven by nobles. Conscripted once, trained and sent to fight in the ranks of shu ren, he is set loose when the campaign ends. He is still not acceptable as a retainer. He is left to wander the roads looking for a battle he might join.

Caught up in another campaigns with four other hearth-less road rats, Stone finds himself training them to fight. They prove themselves worthy in battle, but are still set loose once the fighting ends. Now joined by two malcontents and two rakers, Stone must decide if he wants to be their leader.

It is a long road. Can they band together to become a fighting troop, build a hearth fire to call their own, and perhaps rally deities to their aid?

HANSON WONG was born in New York, and raised and educated in New York City.  His early years were spent watching 1930s pulp fiction films and 1940s noir films. When he learned to read, he discovered the library. And there he found science fiction and fantasy, notably the works of Andre Norton. Reading more of the genre, ranging from Edgar Rice Burroughs to Roger Zelazny in the late 20th century, led to attempts to write his own fiction. Decades passed before he learned the craft of writing.

 Highway of Hell

by Gordon Linzner

Can Evelyn Slade tame an inter-dimensional demon and save the world?

In summer 1985, New York occultist Evelyn Slade is busy negotiating with an Earth Spirit across the river. She turns a new investigation into a missing ancient statue over to her capable male assistant. The case seems straightforward enough—until he winds up in a supernaturally-induced coma.

Determined to save her friend and associate, Slade swings into action. But she didn’t expect interference from a top secret government agency, intrusions by a religious fanatic, or the terrifying plot of a inter-dimensional being to thwart her efforts. Are her supernatural powers enough to save her friend, the city—and possibly the world—from the seemingly malevolent intentions of a misplaced demon?

Highway of Hell is the first full-length novel featuring occult detective Evelyn Slade, who appears in numerous published short stories. If you like sassy women, gritty settings and twisty plots told with a dash of humor; you’ll love this deep dive into this underworld of urban fantasy.

Dead Cat Bounce

by Gerard Houarner; illustrated by GAK

The one, the only, the original 30-page illustrated chapbook that founded the Dead Cat Bounce series. This story details the efforts of a cat, sacrificed to an Egyptian goddess, to return to the land of the living. Sort of. A fable to horrify the inner child in all of us.

“This poignant story manages to mix Don Marquis’ Mehitable with Karloff’s Mummy in a charming creepy-funny fashion, a tone captured perfectly in numerous B&W drawings by a mysterious artist known only as GAK.”—Paul Di Filippo, Asimov’s Science Fiction

Dead in the West

by Joe R. Lansdale

Death is common in the frontier town of Mud Creek, and usually final. After an Indian medicine man is lynched, however, bodies begin showing up the likes of which Doc and Undertaker Mertz have never seen. Nor has the Reverend Jebidiah Mercer, an itinerant gun-slinging evangelist who challenges the demon behind the madness. Only by abandoning their hard-won homes can the townsfolk hope to survive a night of terror…but is it already too late?

“The writing is always good, often clever in the best sense, and the people just right for this shuddery little tale that manages to salute the pulps without debasing them.”—Stephen J. Baines, Mystery Scene

“Lansdale is to regional horror what Faulkner was to broader regionalism…There are chills and chuckles throughout this tightly structured novella.”—Mark Graham, Rocky Mountain News

A vampire glimpses his reflection in a mirror for the first time in eight hundred years… his victim, a young woman lost in the modern city, finds herself pulled into an ancient quest.

“Enjoy this gourmet sampling of the boldest and most accomplished of today’s new voices in Fantasy, SF and Horror. A delight to read.” —Terry Bisson, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author


The stories are set in times as distant as Bronze Age China and the far flung future; and in places as strange as a Brooklyn courthouse and the edge of the universe. Meet a were-moose, aboriginal spirits, a fetal vampire, and the devil’s mother-in-law. These stories and poems evoke laughter, tears, shivers, and thoughtfulness.

The journey ahead is long and intricate and she wields one tool to document it: Twitter. Bursting from the pages of Outside In, Hannah J. Rothman returns to the beginning as she Tweets and commentates her way through the complete William Hartnell era of Doctor Who. Grab your lapels and get your sonics ready.

“Hannah’s reviews are enthusiastic, bright, funny, and darn it but I now really want to re-watch all of my William Hartnell (the First Doctor) DVDs.”

“Rothman’s retrospectives on various companions and indeed the first Doctor himself are amongst the best parts of the book and perhaps the most serious as well.”

Grab your favorite Highlander and get your sonics ready.“Rothman’s second volume follows the same format as the first…it’s like reading a transcript of a live tweeting event. It’s a very fun, enjoyable, light, funny, and a quick read. I enjoyed it very much and I look forward to the rest of the series.”

“…highly recommended, especially to fans of the world’s longest-running Science Fiction television series, Doctor Who. The format is also unique to the deluge of non-fiction books about Doctor Who especially since the 50th anniversary last year.
