The Blue Gonk Café has been sold and the new owners aren't interested in having story sessions. The storytellers were invited to come one last time - which they did, bringing their tales of blood, gore, heartbreak, sadness and even laughter at times. It was a special occasion which demanded special things - Kevin L Jones held an evening session at which he read his novella about the fearsome clown, Uncle Tickle. What a way to end a tradition!!

The Blue Gonk Café decided to hold a storytelling day... some of the best writers from Thirteen Press went to the sessions... the result being an anthology of almost 170 pieces of flash fiction, ranging from SF through gentle humour to outright horror. Pick up and put down or start at the beginning and read through all the storytelling sessions, either way the collection is a delight for the senses, far ranging stories covering all aspects of Life. Come on in and be part of the storytelling sessions. You won't regret it!

They say that when the ""stars are right"" he will return and usher in a new age and the elder gods will reign once again. H.P.L drops a few hints that Cthulhu may not return during mankind's time on Earth. In this second installment we return to a world on the brink, where the unthinkable - the unnameable - could lurk just around the corner.

Weapons of power can be double edged. For every enchanted blade there is a cursed sword. The warrior who wields one of these weapons will triumph against foe after foe, and yet the blade may be his own downfall. Tyrfing, forged by dwarfs under duress, had three curses to leaven its three virtues. Kullervo used the talking sword of the god Ukko to slay all his foes, and yet in the end it was with that blade that the troubled hero took his own life. Elric's sentient blade Stormbringer drank the blood and souls of its victims in return for victory in the fight, but it was an uneasy, Faustian pact between swordsman and sword, ending in tragedy... -Gavin Chappell
