APRIL ISSUE BEGINS TOMORROW




Tomorrow the FREEZINE returns with the beginning of a brand new, never-before-published novelette from Bram Stoker award winning author John Shirley.

Forthcoming, this month:


John Shirley's original novelette
ELDER CRUISER

(To be serialized in five
daily installments.)



Gil James Bavel's short tale
SATAN'S DOG
(Fri, April 13)
