Not Quite The End Of The World Just Yet: Short Stories & Strange Futures

The twelve stories in this collection touch upon science fiction, horror, and fantasy, but all see people brush against the sublime and discover who they truly are. In โ€œOne Saturday Night, With Angel,โ€ a young man staffing a convenience store frets as angels hunt his customers. In โ€œSay Zucchini, and Mean It,โ€ the world is overrun by a plague that robs us of three very important words. In โ€œClockwork, Patchwork, and Raven,โ€ a clockwork man dreams of a fairy-tale ending while trying to protect those he loves from a dangerous gang of genetically engineered crow boys. In โ€œDying Young,โ€ the psychic son of a lawman must re-evaluate the deals he makes in order to keep his town safe from cybernetic marauders and a dragon seeking justice.

Mimes, aliens, and kaiju that only fifty percent of the population can see. Invaders from beyond the stars, empaths on the run, and Astronomerโ€™s Royal of England. These are just some of the characters youโ€™ll meet in the strange futures presented in this collection, but always grounded in the very human strengths and frailties.
