I hope you enjoy reading these Speculative Stories from the Slipstream as much as I enjoyed creating them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The slipstream combines science fiction, fantasy and horror then
plants the resulting blend into the potting soil of mainstream
fiction. The 17 speculative stories cross the boundaries of genre.
Is a lineman really transported to an alternate reality after a lightning strike or is he hallucinating?
When vampires steal a man’s wife, he follows to seek revenge with the assistance of a female vampire who offers him eternity.
Driving on a lonely country road at night, a man in a pickup sees a woman’s bloody arm reach out from the shoulder of the two-lane blacktop road.
In the aftermath of a comet’s disintegration in Earth’s atmosphere, survivors must adapt – and was that an actual comet that exploded?

SPECULATIVE ENCOUNTERS: New Stories from the Slipstream
Speculative fiction is comprised of three related genres: science fiction, fantasy and horror. The slipstream intermingles these genres then plants imagination’s resulting seeds into the potting soil of mainstream fiction. In the realm of the unknown, all possibilities and even mutations flower and co-exist abundantly.
Slipstream is a state of mind. It disrupts and distorts reality, surprising readers into seeing the otherness in all things. It breaks through the safe borders that rationality seeks to enforce.
