Letter from the Editors Summer is over and the leaves are starting to turn. We all know what that means - the apocalypse. Okay maybe not, but it does mean the third quarter issue of Electric Spec. We've harvested a great bunch of stories for you this time around. If you just can't wait for the ghosts of Halloween, you can get an early preview in "Ghostalker" by T.L. Huchu. As a bonus, check out the witches and werewolves in Lindsey Duncan's "A Dose of Aconite." For something on the darker side of science fiction, check out "Tried and True" by Daniel Brock. A bit more out of this world is Jamie Killen's "Peacekeeper." Finally, for a refreshing take on what happens to the superhero "after" the glory, don't miss "The Metal of a Man" by Travis Heermann. The issue also features a fascinating interview with author Gail Carriger and a bonus short story by our own David E. Hughes.
