Sinossi

This issue, we have an international lineup, with stories set in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and England, as well as the United States…and realms beyond! (Alternate World fantasy and the Cthulhu Mythos surely count as out-of-this world fiction.) We also have 7 originals—plus 3 reprints and a classic novel, Traitor or Patriot—a fictionalized retelling of the Rye House Plot. For those unfamiliar with it, the Rye House Plot was a 1683 conspiracy by English Whigs to assassinate King Charles II and his brother James (the future James II) as they returned from horse races at Newmarket. Details of the plot are deliberately vague in official records of the time, so there has always been speculation about it (and lots of room for authors to spin great yarns).
 
Here’s the complete lineup—
