A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.
...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.
“… it's clear that Terlson is way ahead of the curve in terms of crafting an engaging premise that reaches for elevated territory and reinvents enduring archetypes of action and suspense.” J. Schoenfelder
"Sometimes brutal, often demanding and always complex, this novel will repay the reader who likes their assumptions challenged and is happy to walk away from a book with minor questions unanswered but the big ones definitely dealt with! It’s likely to satisfy those who enjoy Hammet and/or Philip K Dick and who like their fiction very noir indeed." Kay Sexton
"I love a novel that you can't put down, and this is one of them." L. Cihlar
Monday, December 17, 2007 at 08:58AM On the weekend my story, Rain Day went live at the audio mag Bound Off. It was fascinating to hear someone else read the story; not quite the cadence I would use, but the guy had a great voice.
In the mood for a baseball story?

This afternoon I listened to rain day on a clear blue north Texas late afternoon as I stood by the Lavon Lake dam, with gulls and cormorants flying about as if there were a game on. I enjoyed your story,and wanted to drop you this line to tell you so. It was great fun hearing your story in podcast form on my little mp3 player as I walked by a shore taking picures.
best, robert, who records as gurdonark
Hey Robert - very cool of you to let me know that. I've always wanted to visit Texas, compare the blue skies there to the skies around here.
You write a great story about reading a story.
Thanks!
