The Headless White Horse: My New Short Story Compilation
Well, it’s finally here. The short story compilation has arrived, and thanks to Jack Johnson I have a fun promotional video to show it off:
The synopsis of each story in the collection is as follows:
“Rust” – Mars is now a prison mining colony where each prisoner has their own mine…and their own robot warden.
“Shade” – A lone astronaut is marooned on a harsh world where the sunlight can kill, but the horrid thing living in the only shade may be worse.
“Baphomet” – There is no telling what things lurk in the darkness of a forgotten Egyptian tomb, but one hapless bulldozer operator finds out.
“Edge” – A paraplegic teen just wants to photograph birds at the edge of the tree line unaware that something lurks in the forest beyond.
“Radio” – While on a long trip across the desert, a bored radio listener tunes over to the AM band only to discover a horrific secret.
“Siri 6” – In the future, what will our automated internet assistants be capable?
“Ruin” – One man’s obsession with righting a past wrong runs him afoul of one powerful entity who tries to show him the truth.
“Horse” – A tale told by my father one day when we stopped on a lonely strip of dirt road just south of a trellis bridge. It still gives me nightmares.
“Rakshasa” – A story my oldest daughter swears is true, and if it is I should get a bigger fence.
“Dark” – Those afraid of the absence of light often fight an active imagination a curse.
“Mitsuki’s Journal” – A journal of one of the main characters of The Terminarch War. The journal explains how she arrived in the jungle and how she became a hermit.
“The Coup” – A tale of the journey the Terrans made from our solar system to the Five Rims, and the evil that desperation causes.
“The Shibboleth Code: Chapter 1” – The first chapter in the third book of the Five Rims Series.
