Schlock!: Volume 16 Issue 12

Welcome to Schlock's first edition of 2021. It's now ten years since your 'umble editor had the bright idea that it was about time he started editing a fantasy/sci-fi/horror webzine (although it took until April before the first issue saw the light), little anticipating the decade that awaited him. More of that in the spring; for the moment we have a story of suburban wolves; shockingly undemocratic goings on Picklock Lane; and a story of bad odours and revenge is followed by another science fantasy detective adventure of Kassi and Sebastian.Nostalgic memories unfold a tale of folk horror; an ageing hippie encounters a vampire; and a gangster steals a mad a scientist's invention with chaotic results. Strange and magical things are going on behind the conventional facade of modern-day Edinburgh. Meanwhile, a Clock Criminal travels into the past. The Florentine Vampire sates all his lusts. And Gruntz eliminates another parasite.
