Children, Gods, & Monsters

By Kevin Marlow

This collection of four short stories features themes of birth and death. From the trials of pregnancy to the death of a loved one, this book carries the reader into the plumbing of life itself. The first story chronicles the journey of an unwanted pregnancy that teaches a life lesson. The second story is an allegory of what Alfred Lord Tennyson described as Crossing the Bar. The last two stories describe the plight of humanity after aliens harvest the Earth and force them to compete against other planetary orphans on the planet of Xenoscythe. Tokarov must confront a deity and ensure the survival of his species. This book is an hour's read crafted to pull on your heartstrings and transport you to another world.
