Kiss of the Void – M. Colestock

The year is 2015. Simon tries to survive a workforce downsizing. Pete tries to survive shooting a film. Three anonymous editors try to survive publishing a manuscript. The narrative confounds each without exit or end: when are the layoffs coming? When will the script be completed? When will the manuscript be approved?

But something else haunts the dark corners of their minds. Simon keeps showing up for work, Pete keeps arriving on set, but every moment brings them closer to an inescapable collision.

ECHOES – M. Colestock

Seymour Frankford Albatross has a problem: he might be an alien. Ted and Richard have a different problem: they hate their jobs. So does Jason. But humanity has a yet even bigger problem: impending destruction. As Ted and Richard divest themselves of their careers to leave planet Earth behind, an array of extraterrestrials, from Martians and Venusians to beings from beyond the comprehensible universe, use every method at their disposal to hijack the human race and steer it towards oblivion.

Thirty Leagues to Midnight – M. Colestock

Eli Gripp, intrastellar jazz pianist, has returned from exile in the twenty-fifth century for revenge. Armed only with a chromatic piano and a rusted out jalopy, Gripp speeds from the snow-covered rooftops of Titan to the haunted metropoles of Mercury. Space and time blur. Enemies form in storm clouds and frozen seas, speakeasies turn to dark splinters, and an inescapable evil swirls beneath a frozen, dead world. But as Gripp’s streak of vengeance tears the solar system apart, it takes a toll on his spirit, and he’s about to come up short.
