Peter M. Ball made his debut as a speculative fiction writer in 2007, but he’d already been writing for over a decade before turning his attention to science fiction and fantasy. This chapbook brings two early, formative short stories back into print, featuring the discontinuous, post-modern grunge-lit of Night, Morning, Story and the crude horror of Impact. The chapbook also includes a short author’s note, positioning these early works in the landscape of Ball’s later career and his first steps away from writing poetry.

Ideal for fans who enjoy not just the deep cuts of an author’s back catalogue, but delving all the way back to see early influences and techniques in their nascent form.
