Between the River and the Road

by Jonathan L. Howard

Overview

A short story about a small city with a deep and dangerous past.

The oddest little things can hide the darkest secrets. There's a little oddity along the path that runs between the river and the road. Nothing major, but interesting. Just the sort of thing you'd mention while chatting.

But, whatever you do, don't go back there. Don't look again. Bad things might happen. Bad things WILL happen.

"Between the River and the Road" was the first professionally published story by Jonathan L. Howard, author of the Russalka Chronicles and the Johannes Cabal stories. It has been out of print for over a decade.

He lives in the UK with his wife and daughter."Howard's characters, relentless imagination, twisting plotlines, and use of language make the Johannes Cabal series a real pleasure to read." Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim novels."Johannes (Cabal) is one of the most interesting fictional characters of our still-new century." Huffington Post"Jonathan L. Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say that if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice." Sci-Fi-London"(KATYA'S WAR is) is a highly effective, thought provoking novel." Philip Reeve, author of the Predator Cities series."A really well imagined world, detailed and utterly believable, great mix of technical detail and breathless action." Charlie Higson, author of the Young Bond series."Imagine THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER meets RETRIBUTION FALLS. Rich in the character development and packed full of underwater wonders from prow to stern, KATYA'S WORLD is exactly enjoyable as all that." Niall Alexander, Tor.com
