It's FREE (today only). It's a bit of weird horror. It's by Edward Lorn. It's Short Story Month!

To celebrate Short Story Month, I'm offering my short story Mr. Tucker & Me as a FREE download over at Amazon.

This one isn't a horror story. It falls somewhere on the cusp of science fiction and fantasy. It's about friendship and the importance of meditative Sunday drives.

Have you been performing your civic duty and reading short stories this month? If so, please feel free to let me know what's good.

It's May. It's Short Story Month. I'll be reading only short fiction this month. 

No, that's a lie. Joe Hill's The Fireman comes out this month, so I'll be reading that, too.

Which brings me to this list of recommended short fiction collections. First up is...

Note: A Natural History of Hell doesn't come out until July, but it will be good. Jeffrey Ford is one of the best living short story writers. See.
