Also on the docket for next month is a new tale from Richard Bowes, "The Ferryman's Wife." Mr. Bowes is best-known around these parts for his Kevin Grierson stories, but since he finished them up, he has been turning his talents to tales of time rangers. "The Ferryman's Wife" is the first such story we get to bring to you, a compelling picture of life in the suburbs in the 1950s . . . but with a few twists in the fabric of time.

The list of other stories making their way to you in the coming months looks good: a new novelet by Maureen F. McHugh, Allen Steele and His Super-Fantastic Parody, John Morressy's latest Kedrigern caper, novellas by Kate Wilhelm and Ian Watson, and works from new writers like Laird Barron, Charles Coleman Finlay, and Benjamin Rosenbaum. Expect the unexpected, the fantastic, and perhaps even the sublime.
