OutsiderSFThe Painted OwlThe Painted Owl - a story inspired by One Thousand and One Nights originally intended for a press that has sadly closed it's doors.

OutsiderSFA PrioriA Priori - Immanuel once understood the nature of reality. Lately, he's lost his grip...or it let go of him. My robot assistant is back this episode. Outside, there is noise. The heinous growling of a paint sprayer. I considered using it as a musical score for my reading and thought better of it. Besides, Remy, my assistant, has been out of a job for weeks.  This episode is also available as a blog post: http://russlinton.com/2021/09/14/a-priori/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/russ-linton/support

OutsiderSFAlter EgoI've come full circle on season one of this podcast. This is one of the last short stories I tried submitting before going the full self-publish route. One of my favorites and possibly my best, I hope you enjoy this softer take on a superhero story.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/russ-linton/support

OutsiderSFCodename: DangerFirst off, apologies for mucking with the format here so much. I was experimenting with breaking up stories into episodes and decided that wasn’t working. From now on, I’ll post the full story as well as provide a complete version for the podcast episode.

OutsiderSFCodename: Danger – Part OneThis is another story from my Empty Quiver Collection. Each story in the collection features Augments (superheroes) who appear as secondary characters in the Crimson Son series. Reggie’s, or Danger’s, sole power is the ability to sense trouble, much like Spiderman’s “spidey sense”....

OutsiderSFFat Man and Little BoyAnother tale from my short story collection, Empty Quiver. The gritty superhero world of Crimson Son is dark here as I continue to critique our notions of heroism and examine the human shortcomings of those we bestow that name upon.

OutsiderSFThe ‘Cane TrainFrom my  short story collection, Empty Quiver, based on my Crimson Son superhero universe. A word of warning - my comicbook characters provide little escapism. They are dark products of war and conflict, meant to offer a sobering look at ourselves and not a glimpse into a bright-eyed world of heroism. Reader discretion is advised...

OutsiderSFGrandpa in a BoxThe Grandpa Protocol. Enough said. I think the text to speech robot really adds something special to this story. All the missed cues and flat emotions only enhances the experience. Enjoy!

OutsiderSFThe Precarious Perch of Lookout CountyThis story first appeared on the Wily Writers' Podcast. It was one of my earlier stories to see publication and had the added bonus of being read by a voice actor for their podcast. The theme, Weird Western, wasn't a genre I'd ever explored much, but my fantasy/wild west mash up apparently met the editor's expectations. Happy to share it here again with the help of my robotic assistant...

OutsiderSFAnachronistic – Part TwoHere's the final part of "Anachronistic." For a short story, it does have a very open ending and I've been asked if I had plans to continue it. There are none at this moment, but, in some ways I am as I explore all the possible worlds we like to immerse ourselves in...

OutsiderSFAnachronistic – Part OneThis story was never shopped for publication and instead ended up on my website. You will notice some limitations of the text-to-speech in this story. Also, the character names are often preceded by the "at" symbol, which makes more sense visually than in audio. With those things in mind, here's the story...

OutsiderSFTricksterThis was one of my earliest publications with another disappeared venue, Writer’s Haven. I haven't saved the best for last, more an indicator of how far I've come on this journey. This was a story inspired by a comment from my wife's grandfather. Brief, slightly mysterious, it goes for a slow revelation I have yet to master. And if you squint real close, you'll see Hurricane and Hound...
