Sights, Signs, and Shadows: Short Stories & Novellas

Speculative fiction author Gordon Bonnet, who has thrilled readers with tales of specters that abduct children (Signal to Noise), mechanical devices that focus psychic energy (Gears), and a man trapped in an interlocking set of alternative worlds where one misstep could mean death (Sephirot), is back with a collection of short stories that spin more webs of magic, terror and the macabre.Take a guided tour through the paranormal with sixteen tales of horror, humor, and the supernatural. You’ll meet a man who’ll tell you your future if you give him a gift; pay a life-altering visit to a haunted ruin in the Central American jungle; have your photograph taken by a camera that steals time; peer into the cell of a prisoner in solitary confinement who may not be as alone as he thinks; and share the growing fear of a group of people trapped in an apartment complex during a category-5 hurricane as they realize that the storm itself might be the least of their worries. In each story, you’ll get to know characters who are about to have their worldview turned upside down, and who are forced to navigate a landscape different than anything they ever imagined.

About the Author

Gordon Bonnet has been writing fiction for decades. Encouraged when his story Crazy Bird Bends His Beak won critical acclaim in Mrs. Moore's 1st grade class at Central Elementary School in St. Albans, West Virginia, he embarked on a long love affair with the written word. His interest in the paranormal goes back almost that far, although it has always been tempered by Gordon's scientific training. This has led to a strange duality; his work as a skeptic and debunker on the popular blog Skeptophilia, while simultaneously writing paranormal and speculative novels, novellas, and short stories. Poison the Well is his seventh published novel, and the first in his Snowe Agency Series of psychic mysteries. Gordon blogs daily, but is never without a piece of fiction in progress-driven to continue, as he puts it, "because I want to find out how the story ends." www.gordonbonnet.com
