This week we celebrate the publication of Timeless Worlds: Schlock! Anthology 2. This anthology includes some of the best stories published in the webzine over the last six months or so, plus the winners in the internationally celebrated Schlock! Webzine Timeless Worlds contest.
In this edition we reach the end of Lovecraftiana: Volume One. It’s been a long time since we began with The Statement of Randolph Carter, back in our anniversary edition in April. Now the story’s reached the end of the road… But Lovecraft fans, don’t despair! Next week we begin Lovecraftiana II: Beyond the Wall of Sleep.
We also have another story from Sergio Palumbo, Area 42, a tale of American presidents and alien beings. Then there’s J Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic ghost story Schalken the Painter, inspired by the work of the real Dutch painter, Godfried Schalcken. Next we have a second Merita King tale, The Hiker. This is followed by The Way She Moves, a poem by HR Woodsman, fantasy, sci-fi and food writer who has written one novella, a collection of short stories, some small screen plays and a food blog specialising in game called allaboutthecock.wordpress.com. Rob Bliss’ novel Daniel’s Dream reaches chapter four. I’ve included another retelling from Norse mythology, the story of King Harald Wartooth, who brought about the greatest battle in legendary Scandinavia solely so that he could die fighting and enter Valhalla. In Varney, the vampyre finds himself being hunted, and in After London, Felix is surprised by gipsies…
