This Week in SHOWCASE #12

 

Welcome to SHOWCASE, the free webzine companion to STUPEFYING STORIES magazine and the STUPEFYING STORIES PRESENTS anthology series. This week we’re up to our earlobes in editorial work on the December releases, so let’s cut right to the stories. In this issue SHOWCASE is proud to present:

“Special Delivery,” by Peter Wood

A tale of time, space, beauty, and post office clerks.

“The Cubes,” by Taylor Vaughan

Even at relativistic speeds, it took years to travel between stars, and oftentimes shipments weren’t wanted when they finally arrived. No one knew exactly how long the old crate had been sitting down in the depths of the ship’s cargo hold, waiting...

“Rheum,” by Parker Lee

Morpheus Stamos was a master thief who specialized in stealing rare artifacts to order. But what he stole in the library that night was nothing he had ever expected.

“Caveat Emptor,” by Steve Coate

Sometimes a great bargain is just too good to be true...

Plus Badger & Vole offer up a suggestion for some fun holiday viewing, and Bruce Bethke ruminates on lessons learned in 2013 and the changes we’re making for 2014.

Enjoy!
