new flash fiction: it’s another sci-fi body horror

Sun, Apr 21, 2019
no comments yet

As ever, the stories in this series are not about museums, or artifacts, or history. I’m simply letting an object in The British Museum in London inspire me.

my latest sci-fi flash fiction is a teaser of the long serial project I’ve been gearing up for

I didn’t plan this. My brain has a mind of its own, and it does not share its thoughts with me. But this crossover is a good sign that it’s time to start going big.

I am writing SF/F/H flash fiction for your amusement (and here’s some more)

This latest one is solidly science fiction, with, perhaps, tiny ominous hints of sci-fi horror to come. I mean, encourage me with your Patreon patronage (which you need in order to read this) and maybe I’ll expand it. Could be fun and terrifying!

a teaser from my latest flash fiction (a body-horror fairy tale)

Actually, this latest story is a little over 2,500 words, so I don’t think it qualifies as flash fiction anymore. But that just means more bang for your Patreon buck!

Unlike previous episodes of “The Arts Hour,” I’m the only in-studio guest. So you might hear a bit more from me this time.
