Free Fiction Online... and a Dollop of Audio


I've tried to make my stories and other creative endeavors more accessible, looking at if the blog and my other sites do their job well: delivering stories and such to interested readers.  An ongoing process, I'm sure, but I realized all these efforts have focused on my work in print.

So!  A list of my stories you can easily find online.  Unfortunately you will not be able to read my story,  Found Objects, over at Nossa Morte since it is now defunct.  But I do love that cover for the issue.


  • If you can get past the writerly sin I committed in the story of having the main character wake up at the start (yeah, I know:  being on the other side of the slush, I realize my error now.) ...A great place to start is my story, Broken Vessels.   I stand by the story, and think you'll enjoy this creepy tale of loss, love, and faith in the darkest night, made all the better by Tisch Parmelee's pro performance of the tale. Listen to it HERE.
  • Everyday Weirdness published two of my flash stories.  One takes place in the same plague world as my story Things We Are Not in the anthology of the same name. Click to read Gandhi's Plague.  The other story is a solitary thing written in homage to David R. Bunch.  Read it as though listening to an evangelical preacher and the highlights make perfect sense.  Ward of the State awaits you!
  • While I'm thinking of it, you can now read Things We Are Not online too.  It was reprinted in The Lovecraft eZine... how cool is that?!  :)  While I don't think of myself as a horror writer, I grew up on Lovecraft, King, McCammon, Barker, Straub, Robert Chambers, et al, and whatever the labels, sometimes creepy is just right.  Things We Are Not... It's a tricky story.
  • A poet?  Me?  Well, I never said such a thing.  But you can read my three Senryu entries over at SpaceWesterns.com... 3 Senryu.
  • My first story published by M-Brane SF was a quiet little SF tale about a man, a town of androids, and the Rapture.  Find the answer to... Do Men Dream of Bloody Sheep?
  • And, last, my very first published story.  This tale existed as a gonzo movie in my mind for years, when I decided to plop the idea into a story structured to prove a premise (as a wise man once suggested all good stories do.)  The result was my first sale to the webzine Byzarium.  Apocalypse on speed meet familial struggles and the power and duty of our choices: The Fourth Horseman.
