Publisher's Synopsis
R.A. Goli returns to Broadswords and Blasters with a tale of how far a mother will go for her daughter in "Griffon Eggs." Rex Weiner, veteran writer probably best known as the creator of Ford Fairlane, graces us with "Camera Obscura," a noir tale of a shady real estate developer's fall into obsession. Ethan Sabatella hits us with a tale of ancient Nordic horror in "The Pole-House." Cara Fox spins a steampunk revenge tale with a twist in "The Corsair's Daughter." Scotch Rutherford, the madman behind the crime/noir mag Switchblade, decides to drop by with "Termination Clause," a blood-soaked bit of crime fiction. Matt Spencer is no stranger to anyone who knows us, having had a two-part story, "Island of Skulls," back when we were just starting out. Well, Spencer is back, this time with another sword and sorcery tale distilled through hardcore punk rock circa 1981 in "Old Haunting Grounds." C.W. Blackwell might be new to these pages, but it takes a steady hand to write a Western as weird as "Quarter Past Ordinary." What happens when two master thieves fall in love, or at least lust? You probably end up with something like Vince Carpini's "Courtship of the Queen of Thieves." Finally, we round out the issue with returning author, Adam S. Furman, and his tale of supersoldiers, revolutions, and unexpected explosions, "Olympian Six."
