Full disclosure: Lew Shiner is an old friend. He is also a great writer. He's just started a project to release his short fiction and articles on the Web under a Creative Commons license: the Fiction Liberation Front. There are reprints, there are never-before-published stories, there's even a screenplay. All through it there is the thunderous heartbeat of Lew. Go ye and read.
