New sci fi anthology !!!

Today I’m actually on time!  Amazing!

My short story “Pressure” leads off a new sci fi anthology called At The Helm, which is for sale on Kindle today.  Below is the snappy description.  Here is the space battle cover art.  🙂

Interstellar journeys. Epic battles. Artificial Intelligence’s longing for meaning. Life as we know it, ending…

Sci-Fi Bridge is thrilled to present its first collection from bestselling authors and newly emerging writers. These stories span the near and far future. They transport you to worlds unknown. They examine today’s fears amid tomorrow’s technologies. From the far corners of the galaxy to the inner reaches of the human heart, the exciting stories in At the Helm will thrill, inspire, and make you wonder–do humans have what it takes to build a better future? Or are we doomed by our own failings?

Fun News From Germany

My short story “Die Austrocknun,” probably better known as “Pressure,” has been translated into German in an Austrian anthology series called Visionarium.

If you’re in the Fatherland, you can find it in print and on Kindle.  Or if you’re bilingual, it’s also in the U.S.   😉

Killer new horror anthology

I’m excited to see the Not Your Average Monster anthology, which includes my darkest-of-all story “Monsters.”  And I say that as the guy who wrote Plague Year and Interrupt.  Aha ha ha.  “Monsters” is a bleak, sick story only for the strongest of heart!!!!    😉

Our good editor Pete Kahle has assembled quite the collection of twisted horror stories.  Check it out!

NYAM antho
NO VAMPIRES…  NO WEREWOLVES… NO ZOMBIES…
BEEN THERE. DONE THAT.

You’ve heard their stories before and you’re screaming for a different breed of horror.

Those monsters have had their moments in the moonlight and now it’s time for us to bury them in their graves. Let’s lock them in their coffins, pierce their hearts with wooden stakes and shoot them between their rotting eyes with silver bullets from an AK-47.

You wanted some new monsters. You got ‘em.

Say “hello” to the ones that are still hidden by the shadows. The ones that peer from behind the gravestones with multi-faceted eyes and crawl from the sewers on slime-covered tentacles. The ones that stain the pages within this tome with the blood of their victims.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE MONSTER: A BESTIARY OF HORRORS

22 new monstrosities unleashed upon the world from the deviant minds of:

Kya Aliana, D. Morgan Ballmer, Rose Blackthorn, John Bruni, The Behrg, Jeff Carlson, Mark Carroll, Adrian Chamberlin, Adrian Cole, Richard Dansky, Jeremy Hepler, Beau Johnson, Pete Kahle, Rob Lammle, Esther M. Leiper-Estabrooks, Marc Lyth, Christine Morgan, Billie Sue Mosiman, Megan Neumann, Jason Parent, Joshua Rex, Seth Skorkowsky

THIS AIN’T YOUR DADDY’S NIGHTMARE!
