Le Mort D'Arthur Vol II  |
| Thomas Malory (1399 - 1471) |
Le Morte d'Arthur is a classic tale of loyalty, love, and death. Malory assembles some French and English Arthurian romances, along with some additions of his own. The outline of the story will be familiar to many, it is the source for many modern Arthurian authors, but modern retellings present only a fraction of the original Malory. First printed in 1485 it is likely it will be as well known and loved in another 500 years. |

| BLACK & WHITE |
| Lewis Shiner ( - ) http://www.lewisshiner.com |
The first Fiction Liberation Front Creative Commons licensed novel.
"Lewis Shiner's latest, Black & White, is killer. Strong characters, suspenseful situations, and tremendous insight. A novel that doesn't flinch from social issues, and is so gracefully written it makes you want to weep. Should not be missed. Lewis Shiner is the real deal, and this is his finest work."
--Joe R. Lansdale
