Science Fiction Morning

Some free Science Fiction for the morning, more including comics later.

E-Fiction
At Manybooks, "The Rat Racket" by David Henry Keller, from Amazing Stories April 1956

"With Dr. Keller's genius for hitting at vital spots every time, he now gives us a brand new idea and an ingenious solution. We hope no racketeers read this story. They might, as a result, cause the police some trouble. Fortunately, however, the racket has a flaw."

Available in free e-book formats HERE.




also at Manybooks "The Jameson Satellite" by Neil Ronald Jones, Amazing Stories April 1956

"The mammoths of the ancient world have been wonderfully preserved in the ice of Siberia. The cold, only a few miles out in space, will be far more intense than in the polar regions and its power of preserving the dead body would most probably be correspondingly increased. When the hero-scientist of this story knew he must die, he conceived a brilliant idea for the preservation of his body, the result of which even exceeded his expectations. What, how, and why are cleverly told here."

Available in free e-book formats HERE.



Strange Horizons has a new weekly issue up featuring fiction "The Lion and the Mouse" by Kaolin Imago Fire

"It was a simple matter for Mouse to rip apart the thorny mess; and with that hindrance gone, even Lion's outdated meta-processes began to salve stressed joints and re-connect wounded couplings. Thanking Mouse profusely, Lion recalculated his entrance and A*'d his egress."

and more HERE.


Audio Fiction
Maria Lectrix has the conclusion, part seven, of “Code Three” by Rick Raphael.
