Fiction
• At Anotherealm: "Rockland" by Teresa Dovalpage.
     "Linda Mendez's mission was to get rid of an infestation of killer rocks, as the Board had called it. She felt excited about her first real job after college, but still found it strange to consider rocks (or anything coming from the earth) as an enemy."

• At Buzzy Mag: "Crypt Of The Abernathys" by Matthew Acheson. Horror. Dark Fantasy.
     "Sabryna watched the old traveler recline in an oak rocking chair by the fireplace, taking one final draw from his clay pipe before setting it down beside him. After a dramatic pause, he leaned forward, and with a wry smile, he put the finishing stroke on the latest of his many tales."

• At Chilling Tales for Dark Nights: "Plot Holes" by David Knoppel. Horror.
     "One of the boards or…something must’ve fallen at just the right angle that when Jake hit the ground, it speared up right through his stomach. I could see him shift and try to grab at it. Even hear him gurgle…and then he stopped."

• At Daily Science Fiction: "By the Hands of Juan Perón" by Eric James Stone. Science Fiction.
     "An average Argentine citizen would be almost paralyzed with fear upon opening the door at three in the morning to find two Imperial Police officers. But despite his wishes to the contrary, Tomás Alejandro Perón was not an average Argentine citizen."

Flash Fiction

• At Every Day Fiction: "Side Pocket" by Matthew Harrison. Science Fiction.
• At 365 Tomorrows: "Sepulchre" by Bob Newbell. Science Fiction.

Audio Fiction

• At Chilling Tales for Dark Nights: "Plot Holes" by David Knoppel. Streaming. Horror.
     "One of the boards or…something must’ve fallen at just the right angle that when Jake hit the ground, it speared up right through his stomach. I could see him shift and try to grab at it. Even hear him gurgle…and then he stopped."

• At Cthulhu: "The Wrong side of the Tracks, Part 1" T.C. Mcqueen. Horror.
     "However, the Department of Homeland Security seemed to prefer 'What have you done for me lately?' Sure, I had prevented a long dead pagan witchdoctor from staging a bloody comeback tour and plunging the east coast into a new dark age, not to mention taking a severe ass kicking in the process. That, however, didn’t carry much weight with the payroll section at Homeland."

• At Fantastic Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs: The People That Time Forgot - Episode 11 (Final)
      "Tom Billings, accompanied by Nobs, is now searching through Galu country for Ajor. He has discovered a herd of horses running free, and he has determined to capture on of these magnificent beasts. He tells Nobs, 'Fetch.'" [Episodes One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten]

• At Norther Audio: "Alice in Wonderland - Chapter 6 – Pig and Pepper" by Lewis Carroll. Children's Fantasy.
     "In Chapter Six, Alice visits the house of the Duchess and has a talk with a Cheshire Cat."

• At Tales to Terrify:  "At the Mountains of Madness - Part 1" by H. P. Lovecraft. Horror.
     "Doubt of the real facts, as I must reveal them, is inevitable; yet, if I suppressed what will seem extravagant and incredible, there would be nothing left. The hitherto withheld photographs, both ordinary and aerial, will count in my favor, for they are damnably vivid and graphic. Still, they will be doubted because of the great lengths to which clever fakery can be carried."
