we've all heard of the great flood and noah's ark, but ask any good heretic and they'll tell you that there's more than one side to every story. read this and you may find it difficult to stop imagining what else is missing from humanity's memory!

'the beauty of the land' was well-written, vivid and harrowing before anita ever shared it with us. but i'm proud to say that right here in the FH workshop is where it took a dark and blasphemous turn, metamorphosing into the cruel apocryphus now before you! hooray anita, and hooray fantastic horror!

I was enjoying a pretty nice counterfactual stroy until they set the kid on fire! Wow, not what I was expecting. Good stuff, so far my favorite story in this issue.

With Anita Dalton's writing presence, we at F.H. are truly fortunate once again. As always, I found the tale (and its reading) a first-rate experience. She never disappoints...
