I’m proud to announce that my new anthology, The Night Meeting, will be coming out May 31 from FedoraArts Press!
Two men meet around a campfire at night. For one, it is sweltering summer in the jungle primeval. For the other, it is bitter winter beneath steel skyscrapers. Both men are seers, but they cannot both be true. So which is the dreamer, and which one the dream?
To solve this riddle, they tell the stories of what they have seen – things which were, are, and are yet to come. The two men, over the course of the strange night, share visions from cities that rise from the sea to humanity’s last message to the stars to Buddhist beatnik vampires of 1955 San Francisco. These seventeen tales, including six all-new, all-original stories, will thrill you, perplex you, and enlighten you.
If you like classic collections like The Illustrated Man and Glass and Gardens, you will love sitting in on The Night Meeting.
This is a project years in the making – a collection of all my favorite short stories (and yours, too). Many of them are old favorites, but five of them, including the title story, have never before been published or seen.
Melissa’s cover, in its idiosyncratic and handmade design, is the perfect, arresting image for this anthology. You can’t mistake it for anyone else, and certainly not for a gen-AI image.
The Night Meeting comes out on Amazon and Kindle on May 31. With a little luck, it will also be out in print the same day. I’ll see you then.
