The fourth Issue of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, an ezine dedicated to publishing short works of heroic fantasy, both prose and poetry, is online since March 31. It collects two stories and two poems; they can be read for free, like all back issues of HFQ. An excellent initiative which deserves to be mentioned and applauded. Author Jeff Crook, head of The Sorcerers Guild, contributes a tale of grim and bloody fantasy.
Here are the contents, with direct links to the tales and poems:
