Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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?

Furman, and his tale of supersoldiers, revolutions, and unexpected explosions, "Olympian Six."

Shultz, who we last published in Issue 5 with his neo-classic "Jerold's Stand." This time he's back with another neo-classic, "Addrassus," which contains shades of Odysseus and some of the best action sequences you'll read this year.Next up is "Temporally Out of Service" from Jason E. Maddux, about a private investigator, an elevator with a quirky sign, the nature of free will, time paradoxes, and a kick-ass recipe for chocolate cake. Cynthia Ward, whose novellas we've reviewed on the blog, has graced us with "Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat," a disturbing story of a child and his dysfunctional relationship with his friends and family.Look, if you aren't familiar with DJ Tyrer yet, his third appearance in our magazine should highlight just how great we think his stories are. This time around you get to read our cover story, "Talons of the Snatcher," featuring the warrior Nyssa and her deadly spear.New to us, Kent Rosenberger, joins the Broadswords and Blasters family with the dystopian near-future world of "Lawbreaker" and the disturbing court system which isn't nearly so far-fetched as it may seem.Next in queue is Michael DeCarolis' wonderful "Thunderbolt Colt" about a gunslinger and his faithful steed, a buffalo, from a not-quite-right Wild West tradition by way of the Greek gods if they had made it across the pond to settle in the Sonoran desert.Weird West not your thing?

Austin Worley's "Lightning Between Your Fingers" has you covered.Sunday evenings may be times of peace and respite, but you know that's not the Broadswords and Blasters way. Myke Edwards is here to disabuse you of the idea that driving back country roads on a "Sunday Evening" is in any way peaceful and calm.Batting cleanup this issue is yet another returning author, Steve DuBois, with his brilliantly comedic take on pre-pubescent super villains and their most-hated classmate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As individuals we are nothing, but together we are powerful. All of the humans and moral Pixalians who survived the Second Star-Pix Crisis continue to appreciate the greatest alliance of heroes in the world. Now that peace between the species has become a nationwide law, Canavin and the masters are back in action. A distress call from the CEO of an independent weapons corporation forces the defending alliance to a classified location. They are informed about a group of scoundrels who are fixated on finding a primeval relic that could bring about the rise of an extremely noteworthy Pixalian race. Canavin sees that he lacks the knowledge of the Pixalian race he thought he knew so much about. As he is in search for answers, he arrives in the midst of an armoured woman who has caused global turmoil, bringing back hate and revulsion between the two species. And when the defenders return from an Egyptian environment, they now must witness the repercussions of a vast invasion of the devastating race. A divide of humans and Pixalians is in effect, and everyone is cautious when they learn about a sapient ruler with powers unheard of, leaving Canavin with choices that determine the future of his alliance and the entire world of anarchy.

Download or read book Broadswords and Blasters Issue 12 written by Cameron Mount and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First up is J. Rohr's "Riding the Rails," a story he claims he had to rewrite from memory after a catastrophic file failure. Well, that one may have been good, but this alternate history-of a world we know but besieged by monsters of myth and legend-is great. Returning author Richard L. Rubin gives us another two-fisted retro sci-fi tale in "Commander Saturn and the Air Bandit of Mars." And DJ Tyrer brings back his acclaimed Nyssa of Abanos for her second (and Tyrer's third!) appearance in B&B-this time in "Journey to Mount Argaeas." In Kristen Reid's "American Appetite," Connor Wescott comes across some deserters with a strange sort of hunger. Yes you read the title of the next story correctly, "Callahan and the Bomb Squid." Laughs are few and far between in our pages, but every once in awhile we get a cracker like Jonathon Mast's, so savor it. Because S. Gepp's "No Stand" will knock that laughter right out of your belly with this gut-punch of a hard-boiled Western. Ben Serna-Grey dropped his weird-ass "Smoke and Hamsters" in our laps and cackled with glee as he then shat in a bucket and tried to get cash for it. That'll make perfect sense once you read this thing. We love it. Ready for more gut-punches? Hope so, because "The Drive Home" is about as pure and depressing a noir tale as we've ever published. Be safe driving, dear readers. "The DSD" by E.G. Thompson is a dual-pronged narrative set in a dying and dangerous frontier after the fall of civilization, and the stories herein can't all end on downers (though they damn sure tried!), so here's your happy ending. You'll need it. "Crowbait" by T.L. Simpson traces the line between vengeance and justice, with a clear emphasis that the former may cause more problems than just accepting your grief and moving on. Andrew Miller sent us this noir tale about a "Shootout at Namaste Mart" and the title alone almost sold one editor on the story. "Spaceman and Freakshow" by Roger H. Stone had a similar effect, and we think the stories do both of these titles justice. Longtime supporter and just all-around great writer Steve DuBois hit us with another tale of supreme oddity in his "The Professionals" about-well, his November 19th tweet says it better than we can- "magically-enhanced urban professionals escorting a Kennedy baby to the ruins of Dallas for inauguration as God-Emperor." Next up is "Aces and Rogues" by Anthony Pinkett, a two-fisted dogfighting space actioner that we both said we'd be "stupid not to publish." "Don't Let the Law Hit Ya Where the Good Lord Split Ya" is a mouthful of a title that came off Russell W. Johnson's keyboard, but it sure is an apt one for the crime story he sent in. After that we've got "Starstruck" by Kristen Brand, a sci-fi tale of solar guardsmen, mixed loyalties, and, ultimately, duty. Scott Forbes Crawford's "A Lone Man Is No Warrior" traces the story of a man who lost a king and his own warrior nature only to be spurred back to it by a woman's attempted murder of his boss. Lastly, we have Matt Spencer's "The Radiant Abyss." We've been blessed to have some stalwart supporters over the three years of the magazine's existence, and Spencer is the first and perhaps staunchest of those. It just so happens he writes stories we like, too.

When a new killer begins leaving bodies twisted and bent into grotesque pieces of art, City Officer Stark tasks Bone to unravel the clues. As more victims are discovered, Bone and Stark are drawn deeper into a world where pain and personal statement blend and blur, and finally end up hunting for a semi-mythical man-machine named Burneo deep within the sewers. But things aren't what they seem. While searching for Burneo, Bone and Stark discover a hidden lab full of evidence of horrific abuses of science and experimentation. Meanwhile, the killer is still on the loose, and, as Stark becomes more and more obsessed with the case, Bone is forced to a shattering realization. Everything is connected: the killings, the gang activity, the labs, and his own past. Unless he can figure out how, he won't survive.
