Synopsis:
"Thirty thousand years ago, ice was storming the planet. Among the
species forced out of the trees and onto the steppes by the advancing
cold was modern man, who was both predator and prey.
Mankind stood on the cold brink of extinction...but they had a unique advantage over other species, a new technology-domesticated wolves.
Only a set of extraordinary circumstances could have transformed one of these fierce creatures into a hunting companion, a bodyguard, a soldier, and a friend."
Synopsis:
"A season of endings has begun. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This
is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the
power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy."
Synopsis:
"London awakes one morning to find itself besieged by a sky full of floating icebergs. Destroyed oil rigs, mysteriously reborn, clamber from the sea and onto the land, driven by an obscure but violent purpose. An anatomy student cuts open a cadaver to discover impossibly intricate designs carved into a corpse’s bones—designs clearly present from birth, bearing mute testimony to . . . what?
Of such concepts and unforgettable images are made the twenty-eight stories in this collection—many published here for the first time. By turns speculative, satirical, and heart-wrenching, fresh in form and language, and featuring a cast of damaged yet hopeful seekers who come face-to-face with the deep weirdness of the world—and at times the deeper weirdness of themselves—Three Moments of an Explosion is a fitting showcase for one of literature’s most original voices."
Synopsis:
"A
grief-struck man finds the truth he needs in a Wild Blue Yonder
purchased from a back alley grief counselor. A Kentucky veteran freshly
home from Iraq juggles a trailer-park Thanksgiving and zombie
apocalypse. A disillusioned pastor and a disgraced security officer in
the not-so-distant future face down a domestic terror cell bent on
bringing about Armageddon. These are just a few of the stops in Ken
Scholes’s latest pass through his Imagination Forest. Blue Yonders, Grateful Pies and Other Fanciful Feasts is a potluck of words gathered together just in time to celebrate 15 years logging stories for fun and profit. So grab your plate and fork, find yourself a place at the table, and get ready to dig in!"
