99-Cent Kindle Short “Watson Has Killed Me, Alas”

In order to help celebrate the upcoming publication of my big novella and story collection, Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, I’ve put out a hugely entertaining Sherlock Holmes zombie mystery story, “Watson Has Killed Me, Alas”, as a 99-cent Kindle short.

Famed detective Sherlock Holmes undertakes a life-and-death mission in the British Raj, responding to reports of a “ghϋl plague” that turns its victims into zombies who crave living flesh. Loyal Watson arrives in India first, where a malignant Chinese mastermind arranges for his zombification. An unsuspecting Holmes falls victim next. Then it is up to the indomitable Holmes, in a race against time, to locate the villain and a possible antidote. But can a weakening Sherlock Holmes, losing more of his intellect every day, hope to prevail against Dr. Lòng Huòshèng, known as the Victorious Dragon — the shadowy villain who may be the infamous Dr. Fu Manchu?

99-Cent Kindle Short “The Man Who Would Be Kong”

In order to help celebrate the pending publication of Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, I’ve put out one of my favorite short stories as a 99-cent Kindle short, “The Man Who Would Be Kong”.

An elderly man, Max Strauss, retired in Miami Beach, visits an entrepreneur who is about to open a King Kong-themed restaurant. Max claims to have portrayed the giant gorilla in the 1933 classic film. But everyone knows that King Kong was actually an 18″ tall animated model, don’t they? So is Max an attention-seeking fraud? Or is he something far greater?

Hazardous Imaginings Now Available for Pre-Order

Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction is now available for pre-order at Amazon for the low, low price of only $4.99 in Kindle format! Publication date is Monday, October 12, 2020. Order your copy today! The book will also be available in trade paperback, Nook, Kobo, and other popular e-formats.

This volume includes two short novels and five short stories, all of which push the boundaries of taboo in science fiction. An English archeologist who yearns for the love of a young Jewish refuge sets out to convince a majority of the world’s population that the Holocaust never happened — hoping to not only wipe it from the annals of history, but also from reality. The Martian colony Bradbury sends an investigator to pursue a gay Uyghur murderer in a future Australian city where members of each ethnic and grievance group are invisible to all those who don’t belong to their tribe. A far-future academic treatise describes a rediscovered Fusionist liturgical text that combines the writings of radical feminist Joanna Russ and female slavery fantasist John Norman. An aggressively therapeutic State of Florida lovingly wraps its bureaucratic tentacles around those it deems unenlightened. A born-again Christian cafeteria worker in a small Texas college town becomes the only friend of an insectoid alien come to evacuate humanity from a doomed Earth. These stories leave no sacred cows unprodded.
