In the twentieth issue of Theaker's Quarterly Fiction we present the very substantial horror of "The Hatchling: Post-Natal Paranoia" by John Greenwood. Cultists, monsters and secret government ministries - what else do you need? "Contrarieties" by Bruce Hesselbach continues his charming series of Tales of Yxning. The issue is rounded out by the final part of After All, by Michael Wyndham Thomas. There's also a bit of apologising from me about the poor quality service I'm providing as a book reviewer. It isn't quite half the length of the previous issue, but it is a little bit shorter. See TQF20.
