Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter | Russell Nohelty | Fantasy | (CB) (C) ($)
Ichabod is a mental patient who has been convicted of killing many innocent people, but when he awakens in the Apocalypse he may just be the best hope for humanity to survive. If only he knew whether the Hell beasts he slaughtered were real or existed only in his mind. Can Ichabod become the hero the world needs even after society decided they didn’t need him? Or will he devolve into the animal people always accused him of being? Enter the madness and find out.
Amy's Electronic Girls | Amy Letter | Speculative (S) (I) (F)
All the stories in this series are short SF stories written from the perspective of "electronic girls": the first one is about a sexbot; the next story will be about a worker at a triangle factory; the next is about a surveillance bot devised to camouflage among high school students, and there will be many more to come.

Found by nomads riding strange creatures, they're taken through a land of superstitions and ancient legend, forced to carve out their place. No matter where they wander, tribal politics, magic and warfare all threaten to upend the culture they grow to love. Through it all, they wonder if returning home could ever be possible… But would they want to? Their new hosts brew fantastic beer. (Mature content!)
