Eldritch Science

From George Philies, editor, comes Eldritch Science : The N3F Fiction and Poetry Zine.

George writes:

Included in this issue are several contributions from winners of the 2017 N3F Short Story Contest. Quantum Quietus by won First
Prize in the contest. Qalnoth’s Favor by Gustavo Bondoni won second prize. Bob Jenning’s Trash Smashers won third prize; he has given us his tale A Girl Child of Medium Price. Andrew Darling received honorable mention; his contribution here is his poem Tales of Weird  Science.

A few words of appreciation:

Qalnoth’s Favor is a tale of swords and sorcery, a god’s statue with a giant pink diamond, and a fast-talking rogue who strives to
avoid a swift hanging.

A Girl Child of Medium Price is a modern adventure in the style of H. Rider Haggard, with slave markets, gun smugglers and an evil ancient cult.

Quantum Quietus is rigorously hard science fiction that explores possible consequences of reliable short-range precognition.

AI1A explores the cruelty of children and interesting applications of technology.

A Fistful of Brifgars trods firmly and with great success on the notion that you cannot just transplant tales from the Old West to outer space.

Marionettes carefully feeds the reader all the evidence needed to understand why humanity is being destroyed.

Who Slays Satan first graced the pages of Eldritch Science some 25 years ago. It reappears here, complete with the original artwork,
just as good now as it was then.

Poems are meant to be read and treasured, but it is worth noting that Traveler was this issue’s first contribution.

This month’s roundup:
A word first – Last month, March, we put up a lot of material gathered during the month of February (which is the shortest in the year). However, there were still a lot more interesting articles and links that we had accumulated and wanted to publish – but we didn’t have space for them (actually, we could have, since there is no real limit to the size of this PDF – we just wanted to keep it within the manageable bounds of our regular 5-9 pages / month). So this month, in addition to some new stuff, we’ll be publishing some of last month’s leftovers – call it ‘pot luck’… – and quite possibly pushing off stuff to next month as well.

  • Good news and a hearty Mazl-Tov to our regular contributor Dr. Doron Calo on the birth of his baby daughter – wishing him, her, and the happy mother (and other sister) lots of good health … and so he’s on vacation and his regular column will restart, hopefully, next  month.
  • “False News” is the new “in” thing… How about some of the future: Star Trek – False Facts
  • Several follow-ups on AI and morality issues
  • Some interesting R&D news picked up from PCMag and CNET
  • Putting some order to all the recent Marvel movies and TV series – past, present, and future
  • The Holocaust and SF – Part I

After a brief 25-year hiatus, Eldritch Science resumes publication.

Eldritch Science will now be published on occasion as the fiction zine of the National Fantasy Fan Federation, the world’s oldest non-local science fiction club. To emphasize our continuity with the past, we are reprinting a story last published in one of our 1989 issues, namely Adara’s Tale by George Phillies, with the original artwork as prepared a quarter-century ago by Ree Young.
