Just in time to gift for the holidays, my short story, “A Mercy Made of Shell,” is part of the newest release in The Unhelpful Encyclopedia series, Murderfish, from Wonderbird Press!
About Murderfish: An Aquatic Anthology
Wade into the water for the chance to witness the secret perils of fishing, grow a new set of gills, or devise a pact with an elder god. You will never look at your aquarium the same way when you learn that those languidly swum circles are really veiled threats.
Each of the twenty-two tales in the Murderfish anthology features an encounter with a different aquatic species and one or more illustrations to spark the imagination. Any fish could play the villain, victim, or victor. Get a final full breath and take the plunge to find out.
The editor asked me to submit a story for this anthology, and true to my passions, I wrote an undersea fantasy western featuring sea horses. Yee haw! Though if your tastes run a little more noir, I think you’ll really like this story as well.
The anthology is available now as an eBook and paperback, with the audiobook coming soon.
As always, I appreciate your support! If you pick up this anthology, I’d love to hear what you think! My contracted books kept me busy this year, but I absolutely loved being part of this project and am proud to have a new story out to end the year.
