New release on amazon
A drabble is a fun new format, each tale is exactly 100 words long and must still tell a complete story. This anthology has 101 pieces of flash fiction from 87 authors and covers dark fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It's amazing how much can be told in 100 words. They take a minute to read but will stick with you much longer! I have a disturbing little entry called Virgil's Load and I think you'll love it.
