Plasma Ball: And Other Stories

By Randal S Doering

Herein you will find a short science fiction story about a scientist who breaches heaven itself and begins cutting deals with a goddess... There is a fantasy about a young boy who wins a magic bubble wand at a fair, and a horror story about a fight between the Devil and Cthulhu, where everybody loses. There are nineteen stories in all, ranging from under two thousand words to nearly nine thousand words, cutting across time and space from the Greek Isles to Egypt to the United States and down to Central America. Randal's imagination takes you from a thousand years ago to centuries into the future and into a number of cultures. There are stories about men, and women, and children, some in fortunate circumstances and some barely hanging on at the edges of society. Wade into this collection the way it's laid out, or hop around from story to story in an order set forth by your own mind. There are over a hundred thousand words all told, a thick compendium of tales of all types of speculative fiction. Each story has its own introduction, to give you a hint what you're about to jump into. Go for it, and enjoy the fiction of yesterday, today, and tomorrow...
