Welcome from Stephan Michael Loy!
Looking for novels, short stories, or novellas? Got a need for science fiction, fantasy, thrillers, and satire? You’ve come to the right place!
For instance…
Black Door
Giant spiders. Dragons. Demons. Monsters from the depths of our subconscious. This isn't fantasy, it's a frightening reality. It's also a Black Door scenario, deep blue end-of-the-world stuff. And while scientists rush to understand the dangers rolling over us, elite response teams close with and contain those threats. Wayne Garrett leads one such team. They've never been blooded; how could they be? Nothing like this has ever happened. Well, there was that time with the dragons, and that time with the carnivorous spiders with human heads, but those were kid's stuff compared to the harrowing, ravaging nightmares of today. Nevertheless, Garrett and his people run toward the screams the rest of us try to escape. They can't afford an off day, they can't make mistakes. They win, or we lose. Let's pray they win.
A Light in the Black
A star-spanning dictatorial theocracy hounds two sisters to the limits of space in this story of consequences, religious terror, and persistence against repression. Within this grim reality, endurance becomes the measure of humanity. But is there any point to the struggle? For out in the black, a mysterious hell stalks victor and vanquished alike. This thing, this destroyer, devours crushed dreams and spits them back at humanity with spite. Only a stout and loving heart can withstand its evil influence. A Light in the Black is the sequel to Stephan Michael Loy's allegory against religious overreach, Shining Star. Together, they dramatize the adage that only faith, hope, and love matter in the world, and the strongest of those is love.
In a country in which teachers are demonized as incompetent, where everyone wants quality schools but no one wants to pay for them, what becomes of those who stand for principle, who know what to do to teach young minds, but are prevented from doing so by their own supposed leaders? Guardians at the Gate is a satirical examination of the plight of public education. It is a no-holds-barred gut shot to the myths and underhanded purposes that threaten this uniquely American institution. It inspires, it accuses, it will make you laugh and make you afraid. More importantly, it should make you act. There are enemies at the gate; there are guardians at the gate. Which side of the gate are you on?
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a time-honored, cherished piece of children’s literature. This, however, is not that book. But if you're ready for a happily acerbic, satirical sendup in which the Cowardly Lion suffers from crippling anxiety, the Tin Woodsman is a psychopath, and the Scarecrow is gloriously, undeniably brainless, then you're in the right place. If you want a story about how four hopeless misfits (five with the pig) pool their limited resources to find triumph in the end, then you're in for a treat you won't soon forget.
Follow along on the Yellow Brick Road. It's gonna be a trip!
