Editor Rudy Rucker has posted the third issue of online zine Flurb, subtitled “A Webzine of Astonishing Tales,” at www.flurb.net. Writing about this issue, Rucker says “After the great bunch of stories I got for Flurb #1 and #2, I was worried about getting stuff for this new issue. I didn’t get high, but I got hyper—and rounded up enough material for two issues.” Rucker says that “a number of the tales in Flurb #3 are dark and dirty,” but some of them are surprisingly uplifting.
