Stoney M. Setzer's Blog: Zero Hour: Christian Speculative Fiction

Hey y'all, I know my posts have been sporadic, but that doesn't mean that there hasn't been anything going on!  Click here to check out "Accidents," the first story in the Tremble Town series that Lyndon Perry and I are writing:

Newlyweds Hazel and Elwood Dell drove their new '57 Chevy into the small community of Ichabod, North Carolina.  They should have just turned around and left.  They had no idea what dark secrets they'd soon stumble upon--bargains with the devil that would trap them in a place even the residents called Tremble Town.  For the Dells, their new home simply became a lifelong nightmare...of Accidents.

Hope you enjoy it!  Philippians 4:13.--SMS

Hello all,

Just wanted to let you know that my newest short story anthology, Flashpoint, now available on Smashwords.  Furthermore, from now until Oct. 31, it is available as a free download.  On Nov. 1, I will put the "regular" price of $0.99 on it.  Here's the blurb:

Author Stoney M. Setzer presents eight flash fiction works that run the gamut from science fiction to suspense. What if a Chicago Cubs fan could break the curse on his team with a laptop? What if a mirror showed you what you really are? The answers to these and other questions lie within.... 

So, just click here and go ahead and download your copy today (and, as always, feedback is greatly appreciated!).  Philippians 4:13.--SMS

Just wanted to let you know that Milo James Fowler is featuring "Creepy Freebies" on his blog every Friday in October.  My short story, "The Widows Greer," is one of the titles that is available.

Glenn Sanders, newspaper editor and Watchman of Crayton, becomes suspicious after a wealthy man's widow begins to exhibit erratic behavior. He feels compelled to investigate, but what he learns turns out to be a threat much greater than he could have imagined. A sequel to "The Watchman" from "Zero Hour: Stories of Spiritual Suspense." 

This story will be available for free downloads until October 31, but you have to have the coupon code to redeem your free ebook.  There are also other giveaways and raffles to check out.  Just follow the link:

As you may have heard, the latest superhero movie from Marvel Studios, "Iron Man 3," is opening in theaters this weekend.  To mark the event, all three of of Super Chronicles stories on Smashwords will be available for FREE download from now through Sunday, May 5 (or maybe even early Monday morning!).

Fealty: For years, Scott Archer lived a double life as Fang, sidekick to the superhero Puman. Scott has since retired from the hero business to pursure a "normal" life as a sports reporter. When Puman is killed by an old nemesis, however, Scott feels duty-bound to bring his killer to justice.               

Just Passing Through:  Blessed with the ability to walk through walls--and besieged with financial woes--a young man takes to robbing banks to support himself and his disabled mother. However, what he hopes will be his last heist goes awry when he comes face to face with a "hero" named Verdict who has particularly grisly plans for the "Ghost Robber."

Hath No Fury:  When Erik Mabry, aka Mole-Man, breaks his anniversary plans to track down an escaped supervillain, his wife Pam realizes that her best chance of getting his attention is to become a supervillain herself.
