This Week in SHOWCASE

by Bruce Bethke
Editor, Stupefying Stories

 

Welcome to issue #10 of SHOWCASE, the free webzine companion to STUPEFYING STORIES magazine and the STUPEFYING STORIES PRESENTS anthology series. With TWO: The 2nd Annual Horror Special now released and selling, we’re onto the next project, because we’re trying to get through a ridiculously ambitious release schedule in the next six weeks. Without further ado, then, this week SHOWCASE features:

“An Indelible Feast,” by Alex Shvartsman

Adria’s is the most expensive restaurant in the world, because they can serve diners nearly anything—with just one small exception...

“Stanhope’s Finest,” by Natalie J. E. Potts

“I am a survivor from the Meso-Air crash, requesting rescue from Sydney, Australia. I need urgent medical assistance. I think I might have eaten some poisonous crabs. They were green with red dots, and oh my God...”

“Allegory at Table Seven,” by Jarod K. Anderson

Rounding out this week’s Food Trilogy, the story that asks, what happens when the impossible meets the unbelievable over a nice Greek salad?

Plus Badger & Vole review THOR: The Dark World, we prototype a new feature we’re thinking of adding that we call Learning Experiences, and we still don’t have the RLP catalog part of this site up and running, so one more time...

 


 

Just released: TWO: The 2nd Annual Horror Special

STUPEFYING STORIES is thrilled (and more than just a little relieved) to announce the release of TWO: The 2nd Annual Horror Special. This is one of the biggest and best collections of horror stories we've ever assembled, containing sixteen fresh and exciting new tales—fourteen short stories and two complete novelettes—a baker’s dozen and then some of ghosties and ghoulies, vampires and zombies, monsters and mayhem, and things that go bump in the night!
