5-Star Amazon Reviews:

This issue has the 3rd installment of 4 of Michael Tierney's The Gold Exigency"

Nasar Rabadi: "Great collection of stories"

Kindle customer 4-Star Review: "An eclectic mix of stories from talented authors with a horror slant appropriate for a spooky season release.
A very good entry point for someone looking to dip into the indie "neo-pulp" scene."

Part Four:

Exigency definition: An emergency response to urgent circumstances.

Cirsova Magazine responded today with the editor's reaction to my Wild Stars 7: The Gold Exigency, "It was Fantastic!" and we came to terms.
Wild Stars 7 will start its serialization in 2023 right after the extra-long Wild Stars 6: Orphan of the Shadowy Moons finishes its four-part run at the end of 2022.
