Snarl

John Boden

Marlin Stains is a lonely man who is filled with words. Words that he longs to share with the world but so far only shares with himself. He has over 300 notebooks brimming with them in his trailer room. A wood-paneled tomb of prose and syllable. Marlin Stains killed his brother in the womb, buried his father when he was a young man and now, a bit older, he watches the same monster devour his mother. While grappling with this, he experiences a combination of exchanges and events that point him on a new trajectory with an outcome that is both expected and anything but. Marlin Stains has learned plenty in his thirty-two years: Love never dies, it just hides for a while and gets punchy. Death is never afraid and never gives a damn. Life is a thing that stretches, sometimes so far that you forget about it until it snaps back and hurts you. A snarl is an angry sound or a tangled trap, Marlin is familiar with both.

The Concord of Ashes - An urban...

Michael Zmuda

Six months after his brother’s death was officially ruled an accident, architect Max Ogden knows the truth is a lie. He feels it in the echoes of the past that now cling to every object he touches—a terrifying psychic gift he never wanted. When a routine meeting forces him to touch the smart-glass of a new skyscraper, he’s plunged into a vision of a brutal murder, witnessing the last moments of a man killed by the city’s most powerful and charismatic CEO, Nicholas Nolan. 
Thrust into a hidden world of secret government agencies and individuals with impossible powers, Max is conscripted by a cynical operative who sees him not as a man, but as a skeleton key. Teamed with a powerful but reluctant telekinetic, Max must unravel a conspiracy that stretches back millennia. OmniGen Dynamics isn’t just a corporation; it’s an ancient apocalyptic cult poised to activate the Resonance Spire, a machine built to tear down the wall between our world and a silent, horrifying dimension. 
As they race to stop the end of the world, they are caught in the crossfire of a third, terrifying power: a grief-stricken man with the ability to command fire, who has declared his own personal war on OmniGen. In a three-way battle for the soul of London, Max must learn to control the ghosts in the machine before a 4,000-year-old prayer is answered, and reality itself is unwritten forever.

Stories From The Shadows –...

Mikhail Bulgakov, Valery...

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
