Some very good freebies this morning including two e-zines and an audiobook and much more. And there just might be a second post today :)

Online HERE [via Variety SF, where it is reviewed.]



At Manybooks, "The Undersea Tube" by L. Taylor Hansen. First published in Amazing Stories, November 1929.

"It will be recalled that after great ceremonies, the Tube was begun simultaneously at the two terminating cities and proceeded through solid rock—low enough below the ocean floor to overcome the terrible pressure of the body of water over it, and yet close enough to the sea to overcome the intensity of subterranean heat."

In free e-book formats HERE.

Audio Fiction

Escape Pod has its 184the episode up with "As Dry Leaves That Before the Wild Hurricane Fly" by Mur Lafferty, read by Christiana Ellis . 50 minutes.

"Comet and Cupid were fifteen, and took after their father, both spending the most time in the workshop tinkering with Father’s tools. Christmas was coming soon and they were preparing their yearly trip to the same orphanage that had cared for them."

Great job with all the constant updates. I just wanted to point out something that you missed over on The Dunesteef. You got our Extra episode, but missed our regular show. It was "Rampion in the Belltower" by Merrie Haskell. Hope you all like it.

Thank you! I'll add that to the next post; can't believe I missed it, d'oh.
