Kyot: The Storybook Puzzle Box
Do you miss the grinning optimism of Star Trek?
Do you love futuristic ideas and thinking about possibilities beyond the worries that social media is bringing you?
How about really short fiction blasts that hit you with a surprise at the end and can leave you pondering sometimes for hours?
And that freaky chill from one of Stephen King's small town nightmares on an occasional trip to the dark side...how does that strike you?
Why don't you come on inside then?
The Storybook Puzzle Box is a collection of inter-connected flash fiction inspired by the mind-bending fantasy of Jorge Luis Borges and the wide-eyed awe of Arthur Clarke. With planet-sized DNA machines, cities made of code, daring battles with intelligent bacteria, mysterious space ships, undersea empires, and a singularity in a bubble, the tales range from dark fantasy to post-apocalypse to the most optimistic and inspiring of science fiction. Taken together, they spin a biopunk epic that is nothing less than startling in its scope and ambition. Each chapter adds to a riddle that frames the stories, likened to opening a mysterious puzzle box.
"He surprises me at every turn. I love the worlds he creates. I want to live in them!" -Brock Oliverio, founder of Doc Brock Games, publisher of Future Fighter
Written by the author of TEARING DOWN THE STATUES , described by Readers' Favorite as " Almost cinematic in scope. A tremendous story!"
