Which of your short stories are your favorites?
Pete Aldin
The three I'm most proud of for tone/content/polish are:
1. Mom Says He Has No Soul. This is short and sweet, and it's the sweetness of it that's unusual for me.
2. Mud. This is horror. It's set in WW1 which is what I loved about writing and researching it. The setting was horror in itself, so to add the possibility of a monster into that wasn't much of a stretch.
3. Custodes. Originally published (and still available) as "W is for Woman" in Poise and Pen's B is for Broken anthology, this story captured a lot of my emotions around fatherhood, around our broken world, our forgotten spiritual values and around male dismissal of women's strength.
All of these appear in my collection "Nine Tales".
