Grief Cakes – New Micro Fiction

My hybrid micro-fiction Grief Cakes has just been published in Issue One of Reverie Magazine. Grief Cakes is written in the form of a recipe. Fiction? Prose Poem? Tough call. If you enjoy it, call it what you like. The editors of Reverie Magazine chose to publish Grief Cakes as a poem, and I am fine with that.

Whilst I’m Away…

If travel plans are in your future, you’ll need a good book. Look no further, My Bodacious Readers! How about a great collection of dark stories? The Wrong Name awaits:

The Wrong Name

Stories from the darker edge

The Wrong Name – Stories from the Darker Edge, stories of the darkness that lies within us, and the occasional glimmer of hope that keeps us afloat in the shadows. Doppelgangers and crones, artificial and human intelligence gone wrong, murder, revenge, tragedies embraced, and fates narrowly avoided. Reluctant heroes tire of the chase and ghosts relive the past. Bodies must be disposed of, corpses arise, and dreams damned. Here is magick, for good or ill. Twenty-one tales of darkness, and the occasional glimmer of hope that keeps us afloat in the shadows. Welcome, Reader, to The Wrong Name.

About the Book

The Wrong Name gathers twenty-one of author Marco Etheridge’s best dark short stories into a single volume. These are speculative tales from the darker edge. Within these pages live characters bearing the wrong name, unrepentant, untethered, and unforgiven. Good choices are made and bad; others that are downright evil. Here are doppelgangers and crones, artificial and human intelligence gone wrong. Murder and revenge, tragedies embraced, and fates narrowly avoided. Reluctant heroes tire of the chase and ghosts relive the past. There are bodies to be disposed of, corpses arisen, and dreams damned. Here is magick, both benevolent and not. Twenty-one tales of the darkness that lies within us, and the occasional glimmer of hope that keeps us afloat in the shadows. Welcome, Reader, to The Wrong Name.
