Take A Breather

Splinker

Sometimes a zombie apocalypse is the least of your problems.


Comfort, Colorado, is a sleepy little village nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, just beyond the Eisenhower tunnels. Surrounded by a forest of gold and orange, it’s a picture-perfect paradise on sunny, autumn days like today. Right now, the meteorite destined to slam into poor George Potts’ head and begin the zombie apocalypse is still weeks away, Fred and Timmy are happy and breathing back in Jersey, and the Turnpike … well, the Turnpike is still shit.

The prequel to "I've Been Deader," "Take A Breather" brings us back to a simpler time. A time before zombies, crazed children and civil servants. Okay, so some horrors never go away. Find out how the residents of Comfort, Colorado got along when the only things they had to worry about were each other.

But don't despair, like the Division of Motor Vehicles, the story still has plenty of zombies. So stock up on canned goods, lock the cellar door and come along for a ride to see how it all started.

 

My Little Black Book

Splinker

We all have a little black book with our poems in it. Some of us just choose not to put them in words. Here's mine.


My goal is to evoke. I'm not trying to dazzle or impress with a clever turn of phrase. Stories, my stories anyway, require a bit of distance between me and the words. I try to get out of the way of the story. Not so with my poems. These words are from me to you. A story is a bunch of telling, in the end. My poems are a conversation. Each one demands a response.

 

416

Edited by Splinker

Every story is exactly 416 words long. They are all horror. They are all fantastic. Trust but verify.


There has never been an anthology like this. A special Halloween treat. All horror. All 416 words long. Inspired by Authonomy's contest and my genius, "416" is a unique collection of horror short shorts. You could do a lot worse than spend a few hours reading these beauties.

The only rule is no Joan Rivers. Some horror stories should never be told.

Special thanks to DragonLady for designing the cover!

THE ENDz

Edited By Adam Sifre

It's the end of the world as we write it, and I feel fine. Avoid the 2012 rush. End your world now!


There are a lot of strange people on Authonomy. People obsessed with telling dark, terrible stories. Fortunately, there is also a world full of people obsessed with reading dark, terrible stories. The bible's got nothing on these guys. Inside these pages, you'll find the apocalypse, the whole apocalypse and nothing but the apocalypse, so help me read.

Please, read. Enjoy. Before it's too late.

And Congrats to Paul Freeman for winning the Apocalypse Flash Fiction Friday Contest!

You are one of the quiet "winners" here on Authonomy and I apologize for taking so long to get to your second book. view book

It is a very good concept. Enough imagination and story to hook any fan of Young Adult fiction. Reminded me a bit of the Ranger Apprentice series that my son used to read. The writing needs a bit of polish, but that just means it is as good as just about anything on here. You have a good ... view book

So we're up to 60+ stories. I'll still take submissions but I'm considering putting the book up on Kindle for free downloads, assuming I can get everyone on board. If that happens, I'll have to close the submission deadline early. I'm also limiting total entries to four and, if you are submittin... view book
