The Long Short Story: Novellas

"Novella - [noh-vel-uh] - a fictional prose narrative that is longer and more complex than a short story" Some folks like short stories, others enjoy the deeper waters of a novel. But what about those times when a short story is too short and a proper novel too long? Enter the novella, that literary stopgap. Collected here are five such long-shorts, of a speculative bent: •“Deadheading with Max,” a quietly fantastic travel story •“Everything’s Connected,” an outrageous sci-fi slapstick romp •“Intangible,” a paranormal drama depicting the strangest of theft •“The Birth of Edenborough,” a post-apocalyptic romance •“The Dead Man’s Phone,” a lighthearted horror thriller 'The Long Short Story' – guaranteed to occupy that lengthy commute or trip to the park, when other fiction just wouldn’t sit right.
