After Dark

Wicked women with a drive to cause harm, vengeance from beyond the grave, and a series of other dark short stories weave through themes of treachery, revenge, and the supernatural. Dive into a chilling collection where one tale foresees a dystopian future of the 21st century, shaped by a simple biological discovery with far-reaching consequences for everyone on Earth. A retired soldier confronts the men and women who bullied him in school. Another story explores the notion that our world and all life within it are merely products of a botched student project, where God's laziness has broken all the rules. In a narrative twist, a serene riverside walk turns into an unexpected journey back in time to right an ancient wrong. A light-fingered Egyptologist pays a heavy price for a spot of tomb-robbing As with my first collection, Death Comes to Cockburn, the stories in After Dark are mostly about nasty people and cross genres. I am interested in science fiction, horror, the supernatural and politics and these make up the themes for these stories. Be warned, there are a lot of knives involved this time, and people get hurt.
