Strong Toad and Cherufe
Cherufe, a snake-like fusion of rock and magma, slithers out of the Mapuche mythology of south-central Chile, undulates in the bedrock, and triggers volcanic eruptions. His frightful signature is...
Frog Wild
Crick, crack. Walliput, weeliput. Hickity-honkity, dew, dew, dew. "Bit early, don’t you think?" "No, not really, not what with the rain." In the belly of the swamp, across acres of moor, men lined...
Murder by Breath
You’ve never seen a guy molt junk like my buddy Kyle Drange. The husks of his inventions cluttered every corner of the frat house. To get to any room, porch to attic, you had to suck in your gut,...
Ex Libris

Coalberry
Read on Kindle. Dalia's Hope wakes me and I roll into the shower to scrub off the ride while getting my first look at the system. It's a three planet deal. Intimidating gas giants spread evenly...

Between ePhemerin Skyads
Read on Kindle. When Elm was a boy, the sky was still blue. Now it was any color they chose. Today it was an advertisement for ePhemerin. The unblemished serenity of Zhao Ling beamed above the...
Oro Grande
Read on Kindle. A rhino ran me down. That was my first thought as I struggled to stand, brushing street grease off my palms onto my jeans. A sharp ache spread from a point at the back of my head....
One Zucchini
