PAGES OF PROMISES
by Stephen James Price
“Pages of Promises is a perfect title for this page-turning collection of short stories, for Stephen James Price is a very promising writer indeed.”--Bentley Little, author of THE BURNING and HIS FATHER'S SON
Pages of Promises is a collection of 14 dark, speculative fiction stories straight out of the twisted imagination of Stephen James Price. From a paean to Stephen King to the child of a serial killer, Price explores dark corners of the human heart with wit and skill. At the end of the volume, Price allows the reader to glimpse the insights and incidents that gave birth to each story.
Price is a Writers of the Future contest finalist and his work also appears in GRAVE CONDITIONS and THE OUTSIDERS.
THE INVASION (Extended Version)
by William Meikle
It started during a winter storm on the North Eastern Seaboard which brought with it a strange green rain. Where it fell, everything withered, dies and was consumed. The residents of remote outposts in Maritime Canada escaped the worst of the early damage, but that was a blessing in disguise, for they were left to watch as first North America, then the world was subsumed in the creeping green carpet of terror.
THE ROADHOLE BUNKER MYSTERY
by William Meikle
