Dr. Herzog's Collection

Something in the region of 165 million books have been published since our ancestors descended from the trees and created democracy, Sudoku, and tax loopholes. And I know what you're thinking, and I absolutely agree with you: that simply isn't enough.

So, it is with great pride, mitigated by just enough humility to remain grounded, that I announce the publication of "Dr. Herzog's Collection" by Graveside Press.

Why does the world need my retro-futurist psychological horror novella? Well, unlike the vast majority of the around-three-million books that appear each year, this one's an L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future finalist. So it must be good.

But exactly how good? Find out for the price of a coffee - less if you're reading off a screen. Click on the image to find retailers.

My Thoughts are with You. Your Thoughts are with the Authorities for Calibration Against Societal Norms

Award-nominated science fiction and slipstream author Robert Bagnall’s second anthology of twenty-four stories, variously bleak, funny, bleakly funny or – very occasionally – optimistic.

  

2084 - The Meschera Bandwidth

2084. The world remains at war.

In the Eurasian desert, twenty-year old Adnan emerges from a coma with memories of a strictly ordered city of steel and glass, and a woman he loved.

The city is the Dome, and the woman... is Adnan's secret to keep.

Adnan learns what the Dome is, and what his role really was within it. He learns why everybody fears the Sickness more than the troopers. And he learns why he is the only one who can stop the war.

Persuaded to re-enter the Dome to implant a virus that will bring the war machine to its knees, the resistance think that Adnan is returning to free the many - but really he wants to free the one.
