New Coyote Wild!

December 2007 Volume One Issue Five

Stories

• The Ladies - Elizabeth Bear

You know - I'm not convinced history didn't happen just this way -- The Ladies is a subtle story, marked with Bear's deft word-smithing and wry sense of humor.

• And Now Abideth These Three - Sherwood Smith

It's always tricky to describe any Sherwood Smith tale - "Luminous" is always the first word that comes to my mind, and this story absolutely glows. First published in Realms of Fantasy, in 1998, slightly edited.

• Marsdog - Beth Bernobich

A romping homage to some of SF's classics, with a flavor all her own.

• The Heart of Winter - Emily M. Z. Carlyle

A tale for a long winter's night by the fire. This is one of those breathtaking and lovely stories that fairly demands to be read aloud to a rapt audience.

• Last Star - J. M. McDermott

A strong, sure, fast-moving story of the end of everything -- and the beginning.

• Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe - C. A. Casey

A nautical tale about skirting the shoals of the far future.

• Hobgoblin Crush - Maria Deira

Twisted good fun.

This may be my favorite issue so far. These are some really terrific stories, and I'm awfully happy to announce that the 'zine will go monthly, as of Volume 2.1 - scheduled to go live January 15th, 2008.
