2023 · Weird Fiction Quarterly
Now in FULL COLOR! Weird Fiction Quarterly returns for its fourth installment, rounding out the seasonal cycle with a special double-sized volume featuring two themes: Fall and Halloween! Within these pages, you will harvest twice as many 500-word stories from your favorite authors while gazing terrified upon morbid illustrations by Sarah Walker, Nora Peevy, and Andy Joynes. The bewitching cover painting by Robert H. Knox makes this issue a cherishable autumnal keepsake. And if that weren’t enough, this issue features a bagful of spectral poetry by K.A. (The Pumpkin King) Opperman, Adam Bolivar, and Maxwell I. Gold.
Much has been written about Roger Maris and the historic summer of 1961 when he broke Babe Ruth's single-season home run record yet little is known about the pitchers on the other side of the tale. One of the many knocks against Maris was that he faced inferior pitching in an American League watered down by expansion from eight to 10 teams. But was that really the case? Did Maris face has-beens and never-weres while Ruth confronted the cream of AL pitching? Who were these starters and relievers and how good were they? Drawing on first-hand accounts, interviews and a range of contemporary sources, this study covers each of Maris' 63 home runs that season, including the lost one and his game-winning World Series dinger. Biographies of each of his 48 victims cover the pitcher's career, pitching style and the circumstances of the game. Maris faced some really fine pitching that summer despite what many contended then--and now.
