Tales from the Fellowship of the Indie Author: Volume 1 is a bold, genre-defying anthology that grips you from the first page and refuses to let go. The monoliths silent, towering, and charged with unknowable power are more than a plot device; they are catalysts for transformation, destruction, and discovery across infinite realities.
Each of the nineteen stories brings a distinct voice and vision, blending science fiction, fantasy, horror, and surrealism into a seamless, high impact reading experience. Some stories unsettle. Others provoke deep reflection. A few explode with cosmic chaos. Together, they create an atmosphere of tension and wonder that keeps the reader constantly on edge.
What truly elevates this collection is its purpose. Sponsored by the Fellowship of the Indie Author, this anthology is proof that independent writers when united by craft, passion, and collaboration can produce work that rivals mainstream publishing in originality and impact.
This is not just an anthology; it’s an experience. Step through the monolith and prepare for the unexpected. Highly recommended for fans of speculative fiction and fearless storytelling.
