Five tales of dark, contemporary fantasy from author Michael Jasper:
In "Gunning for the Buddha," a group of misfits pile into their souped-up '75 Firebird and travel the world in search of false Buddhas.
In "Natural Order," the dangers of the natural world collide with the man-made disasters of the present, with explosive resuls.
"Visions of Suburban Bliss" is a twisted tale of the delusions and visions and dreams that guide us through our days, and the lies we tell ourselves and our loved ones.
In "Coal Ash and Sparrows," we learn of a book, trains, boats, barns, heroes, and loss, along with impossible things like talking sparrows... and magic!
And "Goddamn Redneck Surfer Zombies" tells about a small beach town that's slowly dying, only to have a wave of zombies drop in on them.
Michael Jasper has published over five dozen short stories in Asimov's, Strange Horizons, O. Henry Festival Stories, Polyphony, Writers of the Future, and the Raleigh News & Observer, among other fine venues. He is also the writer for the groundbreaking digital comic In Maps & Legends, with artist Niki Smith. His most recent novel is A Sudden Outbreak of Magic (UnWrecked Press).
