The mordant

Merab Eberle

Merab Eberle’s short science-fiction piece centers on a scientist named MacDowell, working in the Black Hills, who claims to have found a substance called the mordant. The narrator, a reporter, follows MacDowell’s work as it moves from skepticism and public disbelief toward a startling explanation: the mordant can slow aging and preserve youth, though MacDowell rejects the idea of endless life as a blessing.

The golden flutterby

Craig Rice

Craig Rice’s story follows a lonely young man in a hillside town who meets a golden, seemingly fragile woman in a bar and is drawn into an intimate relationship with her. Their time together is brief and dreamlike: he takes her home, cares for her with great caution, and senses there is something uncanny about her presence, speech, and habits. Later, as a mature man, he still remembers that period as the happiest of his life, while the town’s burned-out remains suggest the event has become a half-forgotten legend.

Old Slowpoke

Howard E. Morgan

The love-letters of Mr. H. & Miss R., 1775-1779

Sir Herbert Croft

This volume presents the correspondence associated with James Hackman and Martha Reay, whose story drew wide attention in 1779 and again after a later anonymous publication used altered versions of some of the letters. It also incorporates material connected with Thomas Chatterton, including his papers and a long inserted account of his life and writings, which later readers found unevenly fitted into the book. The work is linked to Sir Herbert Croft’s larger project of combining literary material with the Hackman-Reay affair.
