About Chris Philbrook

I am the creator and author of Tesser: A Dragon Among Us as well as Elmoryn's The Kinless Trilogy, Colony Lost, Adrian's Undead Diary and the Darkness of Diggory Finch.

I've gone to a LOT of college. I've got a Business degree as well as a Psychology degree, and I've done the full program at the school of hard knocks. I've been a printing press operator, bouncer, purchasing agent, bodyguard, customer service representative, mental health counselor, and more. I can write about weird shit because I've done weird shit. Trust me.

I call the wonderful state of New Hampshire my home, but I love to travel. I love to read, write, play role playing games, miniatures games, video games, and Magic: The Gathering. When I find the time to be active, I like to hike, play basketball, and play football. I am married to a wonderful woman, and together we have two wonderful daughters.

A fine addition to the series

An interesting collection of short stories. Some bring enlightenment about small aspects of the previous stories, all expand the world in interesting ways.

So Good!

I've been waiting many months for this book since it was announced and now having finished it, it was well worth the wait. Those familiar with the AUD Universe will recognize some cameos and tie ins that will make you squee. For those of you who aren't do yourselves a favor and go read the series. You'll enjoy it.

Some personal favorites (not to say I didn't enjoy the others, these are just the ones that stood out for me) were Going Nowhere, Neighborhood Watch, Meanwhile in Utah, We Cease to Exist, Voices, The Shadow, The Torch and Redemption.

Great additions!

Love these stories that fit right into and enhance the AUD universe! I am not always a fan of short stories, as they usually don’t manage to capture my attention and make me care about the characters in the short span of time, but when a short story works and manages all of that, it’s a beautiful thing. This is a collection of stories such as those, and it’s a great read!

I enjoyed this audiobook. I found Chris’s stuff late but now have everything he has released on audiobook. An ill wind is up next, another shorty, before I go onto his new stuff. If you like Adrian’s diary I believe you will really like these shorts.

Another fun set of stories in the world of AUD. A couple I didn't care for, but very good overall. Quite a few related to the "spiritual" aspect of the apocalypse. And a few dealt indirectly with Adrian.

Good, but some of the stories are very average when compared to the 100% pure Phillbrook stuff.
