INTRODUCTION
WHEN I BEGAN MY JOURNEY as a writer, I wanted to tell an epic tale that would span nine novels, putting my heroes through all sorts of quests and adventures as they sought to bring magic to a world of Dark Fantasy, while saving the Elves and the Dwarves from extinction and civil war.
That story is sitting in the bottom drawer of my desk.
Next, I wanted to tell a Science Fiction story about a farmer’s son who goes off to fighter pilot academy and saves his world, and eventually his system, from invasion by an alien race that wants to harvest all the humans in the galaxy for their nefarious schemes.
I worked out an outline, and left it in my to-do folder

A gritty pulp noir about a Halfling detective in a Dark Fantasy story who is hot on the trail of a demon-worshipping cult trying to summon the Dark Lord from his ages-long slumber.
At some point, I decided that while I worked out my ideas (a.k.a. sat down and at least plotted out the beats for all of my stories to take them from ‘interesting concept’ to ‘workable outline’) it would probably be best for me to break some stories down to manageable, readable chunks.
Thus, the idea to create an anthology of short stories. I knew that I had a lot of Fantasy and Science Fiction stories churning around in my head, so I thought I’d start off fresh in the Horror playground, where stories could be immediately terrifying and heart-racing.

Stories that should have been a couple thousand words ended up
