Butcher’s Hollow - A Short...

Michael van der Voort

When it comes to horror stories there are certain settings that people would probably say were typical. The kinds of setting folks have come to expect. A silent old graveyard full of ornate statues, moss covered slabs and a high pale moon. Or perhaps an abandoned lunatic asylum where the screams of past inmates still seem to ring through the corridors. A creepy old fairground ride, with peeling paint and a wild-eyed clown smiling down at the viewer. Or that hoary old chestnut that’s in all the old horror movies, ‘a massive but suspiciously cheap house that just happens to have been built on an Indigenous burial ground.’ Those are typical.What’s not typical, is a place that you...

Tony and the Beetles

Philip K. Dick

Tony and the Beetles is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in 1953. The story is told from the point of view of a young boy, Tony, living on an alien world that humans have conquered. The native species are beetle like creatures called the Pas-udenti, some of whom Tony has befriended. He loses his innocence when they turn against him after news reaches the planet that the war has turned against the humans. A Ten-Year-Old Boy Grows Up Fast When History Catches Up With The Human Race. Reddish-yellow sunlight filtered through the thick quartz windows into the sleep-compartment. Tony Rossi yawned, stirred a little, then opened his black eyes and sat up quickly. With one motion he tossed the covers back and slid to the warm metal floor. He clicked off his alarm clock and hurried to the closet. It looked like a nice day. The landscape outside was motionless, undisturbed by winds or dust-shift. The boy's heart pounded excitedly. He pulled his trousers on, zipped up the reinforced mesh, struggled into his heavy canvas shirt, and then sat down on the edge of the cot to tug on his boots. He closed the seams around their tops and then did the same with his gloves. 
In the dining-compartment his mother and father had finished breakfast. Their voices drifted to him as he clattered down the ramp. A disturbed murmur; he paused to listen. What were they talking about? Had he done something wrong, again?
