The Top 15 Black Gate Fiction Posts in April
Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s tale of a rest stop gone horribly wrong, “Truck Stop Luck,” was our top fiction post last month.
Coming in a close second was Ryan Harvey’s sword & sorcery tale of intrigue and dinosaurs, “The Sorrowless Thief,” followed by Aaron Bradford Starr’s 35,000-word epic fantasy mystery “The Sealord’s Successor,” in which Gallery Hunters Gloren Avericci and Yr Neh find themselves battling a deadly conspiracy centered around a very peculiar painting. Also making the list were terrific stories by Emily Mah, Steven H Silver, Jason E. Thummel, E.E. Knight, Joe Bonadonna, Harry Connolly, David Evan Harris, and many others.
