My story The Hearts of All is out Black Static #73 from TTA Press, along with stories from Keith Rosson, Maria Haskins, and Jack Westlake. The issue is, as always, beautifully illustrated and filled with great non-fiction as well.

Here’s a sample of The Hearts of All:

It was only after the horse had turned that they saw that it was still on fire.  A rim of thin blue flame outlined the patch where the skin had burned away, from flank to jaw.  A tendon in its neck quivered like a plucked string, shockingly white against the blackened flesh.

Fallow clenched his fingers in his beard, and tried not to think of the candle’s flame gone that same blue against the spoon.

The horse’s head trembled, every muscle in its jaw ridged as if carved by a dull tool, but its eye was steady on them.

The Realtor raised her phone again, as if it were a gun, as if a report could evict the horse from this misery.

Fallow said, “He must be wicked to deserve such pain.”
