Fantasy at the Flicker Show

Step out with Lita. Let us go to the cinema, and meet some fantasy friends.

Authors’ Cave presents its magical side in the March 2015 Fantasy eZine.

For these stories, leave the mundane behind. Meet the heroes and villains of ancient lands, hobnob with fellow wizards, and walk the deep forests with dryads.

Does Gentle Reader want to fly with dragons? Lita suggest you put on your flying gear, check twice to be sure you’ve buckled the saddle to your fire lizard’s back, and hop on. Then read the enchantments from: March McCarron, Terry Maggert, C. B. Pratt, Lita Burke, Scott Collins, Charles Carfagno Jr., Mary Fonvielle, Maria Greene, and Colin Rutherford.

So turn down the lights, and turn up the flicker show. Enchantment is waiting for you.

Lita takes Gentle Reader on a visit to fantasy’s scary cousins: Paranormal, Horror, Suspense, and Thriller.

Authors’ Cave presents its scary side in the March 2015 Horror/Paranormal/Mystery eZine.

For these stories, it is always ten past midnight on Halloween. Meet disturbing children, live next door to that nice neighbor that somehow makes you feel uneasy, and dress up for a party where everyone wears black.

So Gentle Reader does not frighten easily? Lita suggests you turn on all the lights, and lock the door anyway. Then read these tingling stories from: Demelza Carlton, Jackie Mae, Graham ‘Grolly’ Bright, Jada Ryker, Kim Murphy, Laura DeBruce, Joe DeRouen, and Joss Landry.

These stories are best read when darkness rules outside. Disregard that bump in the night. Snuggle deeper under the covers, and immerse yourself in these lovely chills.

Browse the box sets, novels, and exciting short stories that are like a kiss in the dark by a stranger.
