Black Gate #3: Winter 2002
A trio of adventurers scheme to steal a deadly enchanted sword… a dwarven detective stumbles on an ingenious new scam in a very old casino… a deadly worm terrorizes the helpless inhabitants of an ancient sky city… and the Lord of the Underworld tracks a child murderer across a chilling landscape where spiders lurk in hidden lairs and ghosts are hunted for sport — all in the big Winter issue of Black Gate magazine, shipping this week.
Our third big issue features fiction by multiple Hugo-Award winner Mike Resnick, Forgotten Realms novelist Elaine Cunningham, Darrell Schweitzer, and a brand new Pald story by Harry James Connolly!
