Speculative writing for speculative readers. April 26, 2015. April 26, 2015. For the /r/fantasywriters March 2015 Writing Challenge. I’m not that happy with this – I had to chop it up mercilessly to meet the 400 word limit, and what’s left is pretty bare. At some pint I may return to this and flesh out the setting and characters a bit more, as they were in the original draft.). Who was he, this young man with the silver owl atop his cane? Nothing. He’d let his knife do the talking. One way only. Mont...

Speculative writing for speculative readers. WP] After an eye related surgery, you find that you see a bit too well now. April 26, 2015. April 26, 2015. You can pretty much credit H.P.Lovecraft for this. I will say only this: there is a kind of sight that sees more than the world we call our own. Not outside, but.

Speculative writing for speculative readers. November 10, 2015. November 10, 2015. An entry in the /r/fantasywriters October writing competition. The kind of man who can get things done, no questions asked. Well, Amelia needed something done, and done quickly. No-one she had spoken to knew his real name, only that he went by Mr Strife. We start with the Grievance, he said. When he spoke, his voice was like rusted iron trailing over black flagstones. What is your Grievance? And now she has to pay the price.

Speculative writing for speculative readers. April 26, 2015. April 26, 2015. For the /r/fantasywriters January 2015 Writing Challenge. Thanatic slaps me on that back, but in that infuriatingly soft way, like he’s stroking me. I never know how to react so I just stay still. I guess I should call him Tyson. Every time I try to call him out loud by either name, those dead red eyes deny me and I stumble on my words. I’d rather never have to talk to him at all. 8220;You OK, buddy? They call me Mr Monday. ...
