Well, howdy, amigos!

I bet you’ll like one or two of the stories, and I would absolutely love it if you left a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. What are these stories about? Good question. You’re very smart.

A starship is separated from its fleet, and the captain must resort to desperate measures.
A man wakes one morning to find out everyone in the world has dreamed of killing him.
The embodiment of drought has a disastrous adventure at sea. Children are offered to, and sometimes taken by, the thing that lives beneath the sand.
A killer seeks redemption and freedom on a mountaintop.
An energy station near the sun aims to permanently address mankind’s energy needs.
A cloud of strange and deadly radiation has appeared in Earth’s orbital path.
An alien presence teaches an amateur surgeon the true value of friendship.
These tales and more await you inside the Doomsday Furnace, a collection of 14 catastrophic yarns by Brent Michael Kelley.

Wait, did that say “the embodiment of drought”? YES! There’s a brand new Chuggie short story in this collection. It sure made me miss the ol’ drunk. I can hear him hollerin’ at me in the night to get tellin’ his next damn story. Might have to get some Chuggie-writin’ done real soon…
