A Sunday Rerun at Literally Stories
A Sunday Rerun – The Last Lost Eye
The Last Lost Eye, featured as a Sunday Rerun at Literally Stories. My short story The Last Lost Eye has been honored with a spot on the Literally Stories Sunday Reruns. This story received the ‘Yes’ nod from the LS editors way back in 2019. Since then, it has been featured in my volume of collected stories The Wrong Name. Now, it is back in the spotlight. Huge shoutout and thanks to the editors of Literally Stories. Their continued support of my scribbles means the world to me.
On to the story itself. If you remember your Homer, Odysseus blinded the Cyclops and made his escape from the island, along with the surviving members of his crew. But who invited the wily Greek to the island in the first place? Certainly not the Cyclops, who was minding his own business, tending his flocks and whatnot. This, then, is the Cyclops’ version of the story. Read it and weep, ghost of Ody!

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.
