Byways of Dark Possibility Kindle Edition
Take a tour inside the twisted mind of dark speculative fiction writer Mark Hodgetts with these six stories of dark possibility.
What price would you be prepared to pay to achieve your goals? The award-winning opening story, Rosa's Place, asks that question as it takes us inside the mind of a struggling musician trying to achieve fulfilment in more ways than one.
Is there any truth in the hundreds of stories about weeping statues and other religious miracles? Glover is not a religious man. He is a sinner of quality and quantity, yet he becomes obsessed with a statue in the local church. Nothing is quite as it seems. This statue (or is it Glover?) may be possessed by an unholy entity in the aptly named horror story, Statue.
Big business, matched with big science, can deliver unexpected outcomes. Someone somewhere tried to cover the firebugs up, and the world has paid a terrible price. Discover what humanity is reduced to in the horror sci-fi story, Firebugs.
Mixed marriages have been fraught with danger for millennia. in this dystopian alternate reality, Saxon girl, Edla suffers tremendous cruelty and indignities before taking complete revenge upon her tormentors in Mixed Mariage.
The most boring man in the world has a special purpose, but he is blissfully unaware of his importance until the world is shaken to its core, and he becomes interested in those around him with potentially devastating consequences in a strange tale called Faces.
Finally, the story Clone imagines a dystopia where clones are seen and used as second-rate citizens. The ruling class has discovered the secret of living for centuries, but in doing so, they have lost their humanity.

A Masterpice of Short Stories
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2023Verified Purchase
I've read many of Mark Hodgetts' articles and blogs over the years. I've known all along what a skilled writer he is. How he can coax 'reality' out shapeless thoughts. Dark Byways of Possibility is a masterpiece of tempting fiction. Like an aperitif before the main course, you should read this before embarking on Mark's 'Dark Weird Stuff'. It will give you a brief glimpse of the joys to come. More of the same? Oh, yes please.
