Isolated Showers

ISOLATED SHOWERS, a short story collection from Matthew Atkinson, sweeps you up in a ten-story whirlwind of rain, snow, heat, solitude, and psychotic breaks.

Some of the ISOLATED SHOWERS are psychedelic experiments like the shootout of "Bananas in the Museum," the puzzle of "Leave a Note," and the wispy fantasy of "The Boundary." Some of them are psychosexual tempests like "Wall of Water" and "Vixen / Echo." There's a dash of eldritch horror in stories like "Fire Face," but even when you're terrified you have a choice, like in "Fire Optics" and "Alien Boat." Then some tales like "Sine Wave" and "Foes in the Fog" are as quiet as can be. Or are they?

These stories stumbled around in the rain alone and found each other. Now they have found you, too. Don't bother with an umbrella, just lift your face up and take in the purifying spray of the ISOLATED SHOWERS.

1. "Wall of Water"
2. "Sine Wave"
