Tor Books continues to post free stories on their web site. This week’s offering is “Bugs in the Arroyo” by Steven Gould, “a story about the trials of traversing a desolate countryside dominated by metal-eating biomechanical insects.” It is illustrated by Mark Zug.
Tor published Gould’s debut novel, Jumper, in 1992 (it was made into a feature film of the same name last year).
Previously published stories remain available on the site, from this page, and include pieces by Terry Bisson, Jay Lake, John Scalzi, Ken Scholes, Charles Stross, Jo Walton, and others.
