Of Shifting Skin and Certainty
My story "Of Shifting Skin and Certainty" is now available at BENEATH CEASELESS SKIES.
This story came out of my desire to imagine what THE RETURN OF THE KING would have read like if written by the writing team of Charles Baudelaire and Isabelle Eberhardt. In other words it wound up being about skinless actors addicted to synthetic flesh, telling stories to each other while doing drugs.
Just like in Tolkien!
On the Street of Seven Horns, past the temple of the Burnt God, where the people have no place to meet but on the earthen bricks outside the bazaar, I have discovered a taxo den, and there I have met the King.
I'm also pleased to be sharing the issue with Jonathan Wood and his novella/novellette The Mathematics of Faith.
Enjoy!
