LIFE IN BLUE, a collection of twenty-nine works of flash and short fiction by Lauren Stone, embraces the possibilities of alternate realities. She fores the reader to question worlds they know, familiar stories, and the very nature of perception. The stories range from romance to horror. Varying in length from a brisk three hundred to a marathon at seven thousand words. Each story presents a possible reality in which the reader is asked to question what they know. "Edelweiss" transforms the classic tale of the Von Trapp family into a tale of pure horror as Maria attempts to survive the children. This collection personifies the post-modern movement of speculative fiction.

TENDER VESSELS is poet Kristen McHenry's first foray into fiction. This collection is comprised of two short stories by McHenry, Bite Wing and Grandma. Firmly within the realm of speculative fiction, McHenry blends traditional horror elements with her strongly poetic voice into a captivating narrative. Loyal Stone Press is pleased to provide an outlet for this talented new author.
