STORIES
Snake in the Fold by Clint Werner
From the Tales of Shintaro Oba • Osoroshii slithered lower down the pillars, her face bobbing only a few 5 feet from Oba. There was no fear in the demon’s expression, only a look of smug triumph. “What will you offer me in exchange, Sekigahara-san?”
The Gift of a Poisone Necklance by John C. Hocking
A Tale of the King’s Blade • “That’s her!” roared the massive man clearing space at the doorway. He pointed at their booth with an outthrust arm that appeared considerably thicker than Benhus’s leg, then lowered his head like the bull he resembled and charged.
Death Stalks the Night by D. J. Tyrer
“We cannot see it. It comes and goes unchallenged, leaving death behind it.” “Ah, the nightwalkers. They come from a land south of here, born of jealousy and hatred. Some say they are muroyi of the worst kind, or their twisted children, others say they are spirits who yearn to take physical form. Evil things.”

Beneath a Scarlet Moon by Nathan Meyer
The child stretched open its mouth, revealing rotted teeth. Wider and wider its grin stretched, splitting the face. Wailing shrieks blasted forth, filling the vestibule. The noise rushed through Auric, filling the tunnel, filling the ruins, filling the sky.
Beasts of the Bluestone Hills by James Enge
A Story of Morlock Ambrosius • Deftly avoiding Morlock’s blade, bloody with her stinking or- ange blood, the beast jumped forward and struck him on the chest with a leonine paw. Morlock was knocked clean off his feet and fell on the unpaved road. Every atom of breath seemed to be knocked out of him; he lost hold of his sword; the world went dark.
