The Wrong Name – Stories from the Darker Edge
Available Now at all fine online booksellers near you: The Wrong Name – Stories from the Darker Edge – Live! This latest collection of short stories veers close to the precipice and looks over the fatal edge. Taa-Daa! You can grab your very own eBook or paperback version RIGHT NOW! All the cool buy buttons and whatnot are a the bottom of this post. (PSSST! There’s a sneak-peek chapter in the book details below, but you have to look for it.)
Something dark is here. The Wrong Name gathers twenty-one of my best dark short stories into a single volume. Speculative fiction with 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. And hopefully, a few laughs along the way.
