Welcome to The Land of Dreams! If you’re new here, then please take a look at the stories I have collected below. (I know it’s only one right now, but more will come later)
Short Stories:
The Calling - A boy is chosen to be brought before the ruler of The Cave. But will he survive the encounter?
Sunset Heist - A jewel theft gone wrong as someone from the past gets there first
Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this romantic-crime caper!
-
Jellyfish - A harrowing encounter with a swarm of jellyfish on a fishing trip triggers a terrifying ordeal for two veterans, forcing them to confront the blurry line between reality and madness.
This was a wonderful addition to the Sepulchral Roots project. J.M. paints in strictly vivid words, with a nice fast pace. He also ends it at the perfect moment, with some footnotes that form a sort of framing device.
The detail of the two leading news stories brought me particular joy, for no special reason…
-
The Tale of Captain O’Hare - A playful story of a pirate’s curse and a call to adventure.
I’ve frowned through some recent stories, grimaced through some, even stared bewildered through a couple…
Its been a long time since I smiled my way through one. My cheeks hurt.
-
Queen of Corvids - A young girl and her friends finds answers on a cold January morning.
[J.M. Allen] pulled off one switcharoo after another. Stunning revelations fell like hammers, the setting was perfectly eerie, the conversation intense from the first word. This is a magnificent story, very well done!
