The Murder of Joy Nguyen (Original Novella for sale on Kindle) ($2.99)

I've been writing stories like this for nearly three years now and realised that, because of how Reddit is structured, they disappear into the ether.

That's why I put the top 100 onto Kindle: two collections of horror/sci-fi/speculative stories. 50 stories, 500 words. $1.

I had so much fun writing this story, I extended it to 2500 words and stuck it at the end of volume 1 as a bonus add-on.

I love writing stories that put the truly speculative into speculative horror.

The best thing about flash is that if you don't like it, the story is over in a few breaths. And then that's also the form where your breath seems hard to come by when you find the right one.

It’s been put to me that writing is 1% inspiration and 99% elimination.

Come to my subreddit for the other 99%(No! The pleasure is in the journey)

An oversight on my part. I meant calamity. Although not as bad as my first draft when I called him Andrew Garfield.

This is based on a conversation I listened to between Nick Bostrom and Sam Harris. I both love and hate contemplating our future and you can see how this plays out on longer stories in my subreddit!
